Ornament and Empire
This exhibit was so interesting and so useful for the current topic we are working on. All the pieces were about how humans have used ornamentation since forever to show their level of importance. The giant boat made out of cardboard had to be one of the most interesting pieces for me, its crazy to me that all of that was done with just cardboard and it also relates to the cardboard sculptures we are working on now, so it has really been a great inspiration.
There were many other pieces that showed how ornamentation has been used in different cultures and I find all this stuff very interesting because I love looking at things that are highly detailed and intricate. This shows that we as humans all use patterns and ornament because it is something that we all understand and relate to no matter where you are from.
P.S. (I did the PAMM visit to make up for the Wolfsonian visit)
