On Sunday, we had a fun day going to different art related places. I spilled wine on the floor at the Davinci Alliance. There, Professor Kishita introduced me to an artist who she met by chance and became a friend like one she had all her life. Judy Engle is her name. Her work consists of collaged photos that create interior spaces with the undertone of object displacement.
Then we went over to 319 N. 11th building to see he other friend H. John Thompson's installation. She explains how his work is in homage to memories of building things with his father. His installation includes windows from his parents house before they were replaced. This sentimentality towards these objects of his past speak so clearly about nostalgia which strikes me as warm hearted and true.
On the same floor in a gallery called Marginal Utility, we talked briefly about the model sized architectural sculptures then took fun photos.
There was a tiny sculpture in the gallery space, Grizzly Grizzly, that I thought to be very curious.
Its meaning and purpose is a mystery to me. I just appreciate its play on visibility.
