Gary McNatton/The Gap

Article Abstract:

Gary McNatton is the vice president in charge of the personal care division of Gap Inc.. An art major from Kentucky, McNatton started as a buyer for Midwestern department stores and slowly became a packager of gift items. He started Mottura in 1987, a giftware firm, whose cube soaps became successful. He moved to Gap in San Francisco when Gap bought Mottura. With a team of scent designers, McNatton designs soaps that sell for five dollars. The soaps evoke the smell of fresh cut grass on a summer morning, the grove of orange trees in spring or a box of Christmas tree ornaments.

Metamorphosis and mythology in Los Angeles

Article Abstract:

The Museum of Jurassic Technology, located in Los Angeles, CA, is run by David Wilson, whose experience with movie special effects has helped devise a strange but intruiging multi-purpose museum. Its lengthy labyrinth displays obscure biological phenomena and exotic historical artifacts, each presented in dark, moody lighting, headphone narration and vivid detail for maximum sensory impact. The alluring experience seems to connect memory with reality, as explained in the museum's centerpiece, the 'Model of Obliscence.'
