Tiffany Blashock Assignment #2

The exhibition was very neat and the space was used well. The silkscreen art works were all in frames with good lighting above all of them. They were also evenly spaced apart from each other. The sculptures were placed in different areas of the room, and not bunched together so you can observe them better.

The piece i liked the most is the Log with Staves. It is a sculpture that is made of powder coated steel, cast aluminum. PVC pipe, silkscreen prints on paper, and paper mache. The log part is made of the silkscreen prints. Pieces of the prints are striped with a light brown and cream color. The other pieces of the prints are different images. The prints are to be the bark of the tree. The other part are the spears. They are silver aluminum pipes with paper mache shaped as points at the top of each one.

When i first saw this piece i thought of the movie 10,000 BC. It was used as a booby trap to kill animals or intruders. They would make a big hole in the ground, put the trap in it and cover the top of the hole with leaves or grass so it would be invisible. I thought it was interesting to see some thing like the trap in the movie in person. I also thought it was very interesting how she made the piece. I like how she made the log out of paper. Which actually came from a tree. This piece caught my attention more than any other piece.
