This piece, titled "Pucker" will be in the annual 15x15 show at Maryland Institute College of Art. Procceds of all sales go to the artist and the MICA scholarship fund. I felt a need to participate, since I recieved a scholarship when I was at MICA. This piece is made entirely of zippers. It measures 7"x5"x12". I worked on this a lot on travel. It is kind of neat to gauge people's reactions to art when you are woking on it in a public venue, like a plane. I find people often want to make it 'something'. When I was working on this piece, the most common remark was "What is it? A purse?" I just nod and let people make their own assumptions, telling them it is a sculpture seems to confuse folks more than anything. Still, I like the conversation, and I imagine the comments when they get to their destination. "This girl was making a purse out of zippers!" How ever you can alter or inspire, it works for me. Oh, the opening for this show is June 3rd from 1-4 in Fox Building’s Meyerhoff Gallery at 1303 Mount Royal Avenue, Baltimore, MD.
