Last Lecture!

Last week Sarah Zwerling gave our lecture. I was really intrigued by the idea of blown sugar! I had never heard of that before. I thought her installation pieces were interesting, but like she said you can't really photograph or capture an installation with video. It's one of those things where you need to be in the room experiencing it. Because of that I think that some of her pieces were somewhat lost in the translation. I thought some of her photoshop images were really beautiful, but I didn't like some of the collaging she did with the flowers and birds she made out of paper. I think some of them just looked stuck on. The work she did for the airport was really interesting and beautiful, I can't believe she had to cut out each little individual branch and leaf. I cannot even imagine how long that must have taken her. When she began explaining her process and everything that went wrong I appreciated all the work she put into them so much more.
