The title of the show was Made by Man and if I remember correctly there were about 7 to 10 pieces in the show. Each piece of work is displayed hanging on a wall or hanging from a ceiling. I'm not sure what the material is called but it reminded me of streamers or strips of construction paper. The works were made by weaving the pieces together until they looked almost cloth-like from a distance.
Each piece was also given a unique color giving the room a wide array of colors. The form took the shape of blanket or curtain patterns. Texture was rough and the overall size was large. Each piece was related because of its appearance yet maintained individuality by changing colors or hanging position. The work reminds me of old age rope weaving, so I think the artist enjoys the older pieces and construction.
The work is a reminder of how art can be simple and intriket at the same time. I also think this piece serves as a reminder of the old ways of art as opposed to the art of the new age. It reminds us that the art we do today was founded on projects like this that were done by hand, not by machine or computer. It's an arguement to the growing age of digital artists who no longer use touch an actual canvas of sorts. All in all, it's good to remeber and value this type of art work.
