Description

Wall to Wall Carpets, 1973. These two black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images show a young man (Jeff Huber) touching a carpeted wall. The design of the carpet on the wall is composed of arrows and rectangles, and reads "LRC" at the top. Image 27 shows Mr. Huber facing toward the right-hand side of the image frame. He is looking toward the carpeted wall and touching it with his left hand. Image 28 is very similar to the previous image, but the photographer has zoomed out or moved away from the man slightly. Image 29 shows Mr, Huber still touching the carpeted wall with his left hand, but here he is looking toward the camera. Image 30 shows Mr. Huber facing toward the left-hand side of the image frame. He is looking toward the carpeted wall and touching it with his right hand. This image is oriented horizontally. Image 31 is very similar to the previous image, but here the image is oriented vertically. Image 32 is very similar to image 30, but the photographer has zoomed out or moved away from Mr. Huber slightly. Image 33 shows the man standing on a desk with wall-mounted dividers. The carpeted portion of the wall is above these dividers, and the man is reaching up and pointing toward the carpet. Image 34 is very similar to the previous image, but here Mr, Huber is touching the carpet with his left hand. These images were created for inclusion in an article in the Lacey Leader newspaper concerning Jeff Huber, a senior at North Thurston High School. The article discusses Mr. Huber's creation of a carpeted mural on the wall of the Learning Resource Center at North Thurston High School. The main purpose of the carpet mural was to reduce noise in the Learning Resource Center. (Lacey Leader, 6/27/1973, pg. 3) Printed in alternation along one long edge of both of these film strips is "KODAK SAFETY FILM" and "KODAK TRI X PAN FILM."
