The exhibition was in a medium sized room that was painted entirely white. Spotlights illuminated each piece of artwork that was on display in a warming tone. Each artwork led you to another one, which was either extremely close in resemblance or just cohesive in the sense of its meaning. The artist displayed her pieces in the following ways: frames, photography, stackable picture/word cubes, short stories, and picture frames. There were so many different elements of the exhibition coming at you all at once. Although there was a lot of visual attention directing your eyes, all of the displays were connected allowing it to be sentimental while simultaneously remaining to be visually pleasing. What I really liked about the exhibition is the fact that mostly all of the artwork was in black and white. Color was splattered here and there, but mostly black and white was seen which gave a more deep and powerful image. I honestly do not think that anything should be change about the exhibition except maybe I would have liked to see more artwork on display to interpret!

The artwork was made up of perfect small squares arranged in a way to make a larger rectangular display. The entire design was purely black, gray, and white containing numerous organic blobs either filled with scribbled writing or what looked like writing that was erased away by white. The white blobs look as if it they were carved out of the black print and the writing was blurred to a point of illiteracy. The shapes were all a little bit different and unique but were all generally following the same format. Most of the blurbs were gathered around a central point and flowed outwards. Glancing from far away you cannot quite distinguish what is going on, but moving close up to the piece you notice an entire different perspective. The blurbs seem to be arranged in a random way connected by lines.

My interpretation is that the artist wrote down her thoughts and displayed them in a messy, chaotic way. I feel like the artwork is displaying how our minds think. All of the blurbs are the many thoughts going through her head all connecting back to one another in an obvious or subtle way. The piece of artwork is like a novel of her life but broken up into speech bubbles. Each blob has a sentence on it expressing her thoughts and opinions. The small blurbs are nostalgically retelling her past of the happy, sad, mad, and guilty times she has had. The artwork, like a stream of consciousness, is unedited, spontaneous, and is what came to her mind at that certain moment in time. The entire piece is like a huge brainstorm of her childhood, retelling her thoughts. The blurred out writing I feel like are memories that she has either forgotten, chosen to block out, or might be future thoughts that she has left room for in her mind to fill up. It just shows us how at every moment of our lives we are thinking, our minds are constantly running and everything we think is important. I really enjoyed viewing this piece because it just reminded me of my childhood and the many memories I have.

I think we both interpreted the exhibition in rather the same way. I also like the way that the whole room was mostly black and white with a small amount of color, and we chose the same peice of work to describe. The words you used to describe things work and your post as a whole was written very well.
