Update to the Hover Collection Display

2/29/2020

10 Comments

 
From Curator/Registrar Brittany Britton:
The Hover Collection came into the Clarke Museum in 1983 and another portion in 1996. It is a landmark collection of mainly baskets by Karuk weavers, but also representing other Yurok and Wiyot weavers. The collection has been on display since, and has had various exhibits curated from the 275+ item collection including basketry, regalia, utilitarian items and more. 

The Hover Collection case itself was in need of updating from being covered floor to wall in carpeting from the late 1980's. A major update of signage was needed for readability as well as newer detailed information related to the collection from Ron Johnson's 2015 Hover Collection Catalog.

A mock up of what the Hover case would look like after carpet removal and painting.
Remodeling the case took removing the collection, shelving and layers of fabric and carpet inside the case. From there it took a few passes of sanding and scraping to get to where we could prime and paint the walls. 

​The update features new signage reflecting the history of the collection starting with Emma Pearch, a Karuk weaver, collecting baskets and moving through the family of weavers and collectors until Lee Hover donated the collection in 1983. 

Come down and see the collection with an updated lens! If you favorite is not on the shelf, never fret - baskets from the 275+ item collection are rotated twice a year so the collection can rest from light exposure.

It's been a while since I've updated the Hover Collection Display. I'm pleased to announce that a few months back, I decided to add a few more features and changes to the collection display. Now, instead of just showing you 5 different stories in the same size space, they'll be displayed using a slider instead. This gives more room for all your amazing content.

By providing proper guidance and encouraging members to prioritize mask wearing, gyms can create a supportive atmosphere that fosters both health and community well being. While face masks for workouts may initially feel like a challenge.

Assuming that someone lets you know that this table will oppose all thumps and scratches then they are either being efficient with reality (lying) or attempting to sell you a manufactured utilitarian piece.
