I made these for an interactive display that's meant to have tiles that relate to each other. I think it's easy to understand what I was going for, and I tried to color and shape without thinking deeper about it. I'm very happy with how they came out and it was a definite internal struggle to give them up & put them on the wall. I will almost certainly never see them again, but sometimes art is heightened by its own ephemerality, idk.
I really appreciated that the Columbus Art Museum gives a lot of places to actually enage on things. There were a number of stands like this throughout the museum, mostly in the family area, but even in the more "classical" galleries there were a few. Conversation starters were everywhere, and while I know some people see those as hokey, to me it was invigorating. Art can exist in a vacuum, I feel, but it is elevated by the act of sharing it and engaging with it. Even if some might see it as childish, I wish more art museums had it. Let us leave traces of ourselves for strangers to see, and recieve like antenna gifts left by past patrons not so dissimilar from us.
