Common Touch exhibition, looking east, in the main gallery of the Library Company, 2016.

Picture shows the majority of the gallery, including four of Jaynes’s seven installations on view. In the center foreground is Jaynes’s Gift#1 on display on a flat, horizantally-angled rectangular table with a dark wood base. A white and brown paper maiche owl rests on a cylindrical stand to the left of a large open book under a rectangular, clear acrylic hood. To the right of the display with the owl stands Jayne’s Gift #5, a map represention of the travels of the 19th–century blind surveyor John Metcalf. It is a vertically-positioned, large rectangular table composed of a a padded linen top and a light brown wood base. A multi-color grid, outlines of geometric shapes, and green porcelain geometric forms adorn the linen top. To the left of the owl display is a partial view of a case of historical materials. In the left backround is Jayne’s Gift #3 inspired by the mathematical tools of the blind mathematician Nicholas Saunderson. It is a light brown table on which several large-sized wooden geometric shapes of different styles rest. In the center background, on the back wall painted off-white, is Jayne’s Gift #4, a visual transmutation after the musical work of blind African Amerian musician Thomas Wiggins. It is three horizontal and three vertical rows of prints in a geometric interplay of greens, browns and yellows. To the right of the prints on the wall is a small wooden frame in which brass musical notes are displayed. To the far right background is a partial view of an off-white curved wall. The floor of the room is covered with a tan colored carpet.
