Art 21

I LOVED Judy Pfaff's piece she did, "Buckets of Rain". I cannot imagine doing a piece as large as that! I thought the tree roots was an amazing idea. They turned out beautiful! I'm am sorry that this piece was the result of her losing so many loved ones in the same year. But she made an awesome piece because of it!

I also liked Mark Dion's piece he did with the rats. It was gross and disgusting, but I love the history and research he did to give the piece more history and meaning. Also the "Neukom Vivarium", was great too! I guess my favorite part about it was when he said that it was about the difficulty of recreating what nature does on its own. I fell in love with the piece after I realized what it was about--because it is so true! All the machines and contraptions he had to set up and spend money on and build himself, nature just does it on its own--just a normal circle of life kind of thing.
