Three individual projects: the first involved a stick assemblage with a walnut shell and dandelion juxtaposed to each other. The second artistic creation fell into both the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional realms; delicately tearing up the dry leaves, I arranged them in a pattern along a park bench in Parrish Court. Thin lines follow the diagonal wood strips of the bench. Interspersed amongst the dry leaves are small touches of color, including sodden pink flowers I found amongst the artificial landscaping. A thick chunk of decomposing wood was a "joint" between two lines of leaves. The ephemeral organic montage promptly disappeared within several minutes because of the destructive forces of a gentle breeze. Finally, the third environmental project was very minimalist: I simply placed an angular rock in the crutch of two large tree branches. Analyze it from a perverse perspective, but there could be some erogenous zone reference. Art can be critical and amusing at the same time. More comments about these creations later in class discussion.
