well, i've been intensely working my butt off this semester and unfortunately didn't get to go on any excursions but i did hit up the new grad show in recitation. and its was pretty exciting none the less. so i'm gonna write about a two of the grad's cuz it was a small show. i was really excited about john northington's work... because i've seen some of the process but also bc it has a real industrial ugly/pretty thing going on. for example:

i just think its really interesting to use a material that is normally used for roads and sidewalks and make it into art and make it special and unique. i like how he changes the context in which the materials are existing in. i love the use of glass as an object not just something to see through! its pretty and green and smooth.

i also really liked this work by claudia Torres-Guillemard. its pretty exciting.
