What did you think of
visiting the Gallery and purposefully looking at the exhibition from a
different perspective - the physical space, the architecture, theme, etc.?
I think that the gallery visit was marvelous! I viewed this exhibit as unique and one to remember. The artist had a funny way of implementing cute scenarios of children eating corn and a deflated balloon. The element of light that was used to cast specific shadows were exhilarating. The use of texture was also admired in the wood carvings that looked as if a beaver or animal gnawed on them and they were just about to fall. The space that was given for each piece was carefully planned out and executed very well. The principles of rhythm were interesting to view the carefully carved out "teeth" marls of animals on wood. The unity of the exhibit was interesting and brought a bit of tension while walking through it and viewing each piece after the other. I viewed this exhibit with the memories I remembered when I was a child and my corn looked half chewed and cookies that were left out all night, with crumbs everywhere.
