WW5: Ah, Motherland!

I think the salt piece is about crossing borders, the dissolving of one into the many. In the context of Ah, Motherland! it draws upon the varied “immigrant” experiences of the viewer to set the context for the action that will (slowly) occur. So the viewer may be seen as the informant to what this change is, what it means.

And as for an artist with a different cultural background, I’ve been thinking of the work of James Turrell. Even though he is not a her, I’d ask him:

1. How do you keep exploring the same concepts without making the same work every time?

2. What are you currently reading?

Hi ladies,

Please pardon the delay. Here’s this week’s reading.

Please keep in mind that although the author’s focus is counseling and results are client centered, tons of it can be cross-worked from a creative process/audience perspective. I am looking forward to hearing what you’ll get out of it…

And don’t forget to take your time to digest how your final piece may be related to this particular theory (or not) and what you’d like your viewers to experience when exposed to your work. See you on Sunday!
