moyra

davey.


i cannot say that i particularly enjoy this type of work.
what i can say however is that i appreciate it.
the only peice by her that i actually grasped and was somewhat inspired by was the piece called "copperheads".
it not only shows her seemingly obsessive nature, but also touches upon (for me anyways) the idea that we take advantage of a lot.
pennies for instance.
who actually thinks about pennies? no one.
they sit in the bottom of your purse/jeans/coat pockets and wait...
to either be tussled around loudly in the dryer, never to be seen again,
or on rare occasion be dropped into a pig-shaped vessle for possible later use.
she, however brings new life and beauty to pennies.
she makes them into their own works of art. each penny different in color, texture and clarity of image. each penny changed by it's previous owners. her photography is equally as successful as her subject matter. and if i had to pick one piece from today to have in my own collection, it would probably be those pennies.

gives a whole new meaning to "keep the change"

other than that, i really didn't like the other work.
the "news" video in the "couchy" area of the room was kind of annoying and loud and distracting.

the video in the little room by moyra was off-putting and uncomfortable, though i did enjoy the dark room.
but it kind of made me feel like i was watching her read an essay in front of a class. which i never thought of to be interesting or professional.

but like i said the first day of class. i'm really not into new media. i find it hard to understand and even harder to create.
thank you for taking us, though.
i did like the pennies.
