Out of My Mind, Onto Your Screen: MAD

Okay well I have a bit of downtime while I embrace some public transportation back to jersey so I thought I'd get a post in. The jewelry exhibit was very impressive,and I ran into Beth! Haha quite the nice surprise, so anyhow, it was pretty interesting going through all the drawers and getting to see so many vastly different pieces. I appreciated the diversity of forms and mediums and overall I found the collection stimulating with the exception of a few rather obnoxious items I personally could have done without. I got the chance to see a side of Myra's work that I had never experienced before and that Beth and I both considered very very different from any of her forming works that we had previously been exposed to (although a few floors up I saw one of her melting teapots as well). I also got to see a few Joyce Scott pieces, one of Ted Notens resin necklaces (one of my favorite collections) and a good lot of works concerning the body in a variety of ways. I'm pretty sure that's the "category" I will be focusing on for this paper (oh and I plan to post images later when I am not still on my blackberry :-) ) after seeing all this I left the Tiffany gallery and headed up through the rest of the museum. There were a few pieces I found intriguing for the most part though this place is really now my cup of tea....and for 15 dollars entry fee it is suuuuch a tiny museum. But I digress. In the open studios I met an artist who is collecting fingerprints on glass in enamel paint for a huge collection she's putting together, so I offered up my right hand.
I'm going to end here for now by just saying I loathe busses and bumpy roads.

Edit:
Okay home now, FINALLY off that god-awful bus so as promised, some pictures! (And this way I have a running record of influences =) )
