Visual Representations (Images)
We do not have the means to physically house artwork. In this context, ‘visual representations’ refer to images of your work. Visual representations include, but are not limited to: sculptures, photography, textiles, drawings, glasswork, jewelry, and prints. For example, if you made a painting, you would take a photograph of it and submit the photo to the archive.
A few resources for visual representation (image) editing can be found on the site.
