Southern California artist John Frame has taken on a number of intriguing projects over the years, and this exhibit at The Huntington is as arresting as anything else he has done previously. This online exhibit is meant to complement an in-situ exhibit, and it profiles three dozen of his intricately carved sculptures. Visitors can start by watching an 8-minute film by filmmaker Johnny Coffeen which explores Frame's artistic process. The heart of this collection is really the cast of carved characters made from wood and found objects and they are placed both in small clusters and alone. The site also includes a blog, a link to the exhibition catalog (available for purchase), and a "Media" area. Here visitors will find a biography of Frame, select images from the exhibition, and information about the "cast of characters" in this collection. [KMG]
