Lucy Final

I did a series of assignments inspired by Miranda July's "Learning to Love You More". I started off straightforward with my projects, not sure of a broader linking theme (sewing scarves, doing something ala andy goldsworthy) and ended up getting fascinated by noticing, capturing and trying to share all of these little things at Brown. the trash, the magazines, the notes, the seed pods, the sounds, trying to see them in a new way and getting really excited about what there was to see if you stopped and looked. I would love to continue this project in my life in general and more projects like it. i didn't expect going in that it would give me a new perspective on "what is art?", but it kinda has. i have never before been as passionate about the role of noticing, that maybe the artist is someone who notices what another overlooks and helps us see ourselves or our world of the magazine in our trash in a new way.

I find her work really fabulous: here are some links
