Critique Space at June 2014 Residency


     The lighting and the surfaces are always a challenge when hanging your work at the Newbury Building in Boston. I was glad to have a grey background since my work in white disappears into a white wall.










     I wish I had access to an iron to flatten out the layered pieces. However, the air movement from the fans in the room did give them an active quality.









     Here are two images of the completed collaborative project that I coordinated for our group. Each member was paired with another member. Each created a small piece of art responding to this quotation by Stephen Nachmanovitch:  “The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge”.  The art was sent to their partner to respond to, then sent to me to compile. A red thread wove the pieces together by wrapping around the mounting pins.
