CURATING A BAG








BAG OF OBJECTS
I have a fascination with objects in bags_collection of things that others compile into a space.  It's similar to curating my own space_collection of objects form around definitions + themes I give them to explain.    

COLOR SCHEME
I responded to these bags for its color scheme_my color scheme love affair often happens in the randomness of objects in a bag that someone else compiles together with no defined reasoning.

new colors_new arrangements_new thoughts.

MATERIAL RESOURCE
Thrift store_provides the material resource similar to you going to the grocery store for a bag of chips or ingredients to a recipe.  For me.....it's a bag of trim.  My recipe of folk dress begins in notions before structure is designed + applied.  Yum.

  1. Why doesn't my Goodwill have this stuff?

    Last summer at the DM Art Center's Iowa Artist's Show, there was an installation of stuff the artist had created, displayed in a workshop-type environment and some of the stuff was small plastic boxes with stuff inside them. You could handle everything and shake them around to change the appearance within.

  2. Thanks, Deb! My mind is tingling with the thought to change an environment based on a little shaking.
