i don't even know. the RISD Museum's coat closet got new wallpaper. A very engaging and interesting temporary exhibition, "Collision" resides in the lobby space of the RISD Museum. It appears as a crazy colorful mess, but once understood it's concept comes from Robert Rauschenberg's, "Combines" where he believes life is a “gigantic painting from which to crop”, the space makes more sense. Seventeen contemporary artists were called together to collaborate, "collide" and "combine" their ideas and processes to create something extremely unique; some works are directly on the gallery walls and overlap each other.
i like contemporary art installations as much as the next person, but not a fan of millions of plastic babies.

this blog began as documentation for my architecture degree project at RISD. it's now a similar documentation tool for things i enjoy and find interesting. threads from my project are carried through; beauty of weathering and the elements, handmade things: bookbinding, all things fun and original.
