Today we went to the Museum of Craft and Design. Ok so first of all I had a HELL of a time getting there- I parked at the McColl Center (for free) cuz I didnt know about free parking, had to walk in the rain 4 blocks- anywho! I really enjoyed the museum I have been there before, I went in I think 11th grade with my art class. The installation in the lobby of the glass piece is something that I remember, and also remebered that really cool desk that I think was orange, and the swiveling bench that Drake wrote(which I thought was pretty funny). This month they had the "fibers" exhibit- which I think of is very interesting because dealing with fibers is so meticulous and I dont think I would have the patience to do it. For instace just looking at that piece with the "quilt ofsteel" and all those found objects on the fist floor in front of the stairs just made me cringe, but at the same time admire the artist- who knows how long it took them to construct that piece. Also another piece that stood out to me was the wedding dress, I mean tell me that any women would love that! I think she did this on purpose but far away it just looks like a light pink dress but up close it has all those funny quotes and common thoughts of a bride before the big day. Vey appealing and funny! "I want to sleep wth the best man." and my favorite " I dont want my cousin in the wedding because she'll ruin my pictures." ahah
