my first project for elements is to "take an object which has specific visual information and through the use of my own imagination change the way it is seen." i chose post-its. practical, yet fun. accepting of my inner note taker and to do list maker. very graphic. and i also have a thing for using everyday office supplies in art. so it works all around.
this is a three week project... starting with 10 pieces, continuing with five more, and ending with a final version. and there are no rules. just play.
and i have been. i bought a huge roll of yellow tracing paper. (could it be the new acetate? so many possibilities.) i covered an entire corner of the dorm from floor to ceiling with post-its. i found a post-it colored dress suit from the thrift store (very out of my element) that i will never wear in public, but was cheap enough (half off labor day sale) to buy just for a post-it photo shoot. and i'm staring right now at a huge white square canvas just begging for a splash of post-it yellow paint...
