i'm not going to lie. being home has been really, really hard. but a big lesson came from a day of coney dogs, walking around detroit with my dad, and a design 99 (of power house project fame) lecture at mocad. what is it about this kind of art that has always gotten me excited? these artists make work that respond to the conditions around them. it's about creating and using life's circumstances. they are somehow able to focus on the abundance in a city of vacant lots and decreasing population. if they can find beauty in foreclosed property, why can't i find the positive in a summer that hasn't exactly gone as planned? starting now, i'm going to try.
