COMPUTER PRODUCTIONS - Key Persons
James has been with the Museum for 11 years. James' work as a mount maker is detailed and incredibly careful. Each work of art is shown in the best possible position and light, but also each piece is protected from possible earthquake damage. (One never knows when the big quake will hit San Diego, but James says the walls will crumble before his mounts fail to protect their art). Each mount is created so one can often see it, but one won't notice that it's separate from the art object. James started a database for the mounts so they can be rated by difficulty in making them, and also can be located since they are generally stored separately. Fascinating! It makes me laugh to think some of the most tested mounts are the "touchables" in the Art of East Asia because every day they are pushed, pulled, and tapped hard. He has a wealth of knowledge that makes Museum exhibitions exquisite.
