Field Trip 2/06/08

Exciting trip to The Mint Museum of Craft and Design, lots of work to view and a very well educated docent to guide us. One piece keeps coming back to me more, it was a suspended piece using died fabric. It hung in the middle of one room and had about six -seven panels that all had blue cirlces on them, the blue was kinda faded from one end of each circle to the next. what really enthralled me was that when you looked at this piece you could see through the other side.People looked blue and fuzzy almost like they were behind a filter or on some blued-out late niter tv. I don't know if this was part of the artists vision but it really enhanced the piece to make it literally transform the space around it, or at least the view of the space. Not just flat or 3-d almost holographic.
