This one takes the form of an American political characakture (Sarah Palin is a conservative politician from Alaska who famously exclaimed that she could "see Russia from her doorstep" during the 2008 presidential election). It depicts Alaska and Russia as they miraculously appear in the orange peel. ]]> 2023-03-13 00:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513512350 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513512567 (The form of Scotland chosen for marketability) 
Worth 2.50 because it was a built in utility (Pendant, keychain, ornament, wall decor...)
OR
Worth 15.40 considering the cost of my labor per hour (15) and the price of the orange (40p)

I find a slight bit of comedy in proclaiming something secular to be "miraculous" as well. Part of the charm/kitsch and ridiculousness of the object. ]]> 2023-03-13 00:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513512567 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513512848 2023-03-13 00:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513512848 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513519070 Inspiring Image.

It is beginning to look for ways to highlight the beauty of serendipitous art- in this case the strips of paper and writing which are plastered over and torn down, eventually ornamenting the surface with a sort of collage/decoupage. ]]> 2023-03-13 00:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513524522 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534118 2023-03-13 00:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534118 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534502 2023-03-13 00:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534502 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534795 2023-03-13 00:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513534795 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513538242 Contains all of our group work for day 2 of the workshop.

Primarily looking at the potential of the matte gray form as a means by which to analyze the role of the "ornament". Must it be ornate? Must it stand out? What is the point of an ornament if it is completely illegible or if it blends in with this surface? How important is legibility? Still working in the realm of serendipitous/random aesthetics as inspired by my work during Alkesh's workshops.

This is when I began to further consider the idea of serendipity and how it is valued in familiar practice. Tea leaf divination, or Tasseography, relies on reading the deposition of tea leaves at the bottom of a cup to make inferences about the future. The confluence of this superstitious use of tea relying on serendipity and fate with a more concrete/permanent form sparked my curiousity. ]]> 2023-03-13 01:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513566841 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513567458 I began using cut-out stencils of these very traditional, somewhat floral forms from iron gates and wallpaper patterns. Part of this idea of concretizing a transient material state (tea leaves, etc) was also giving it some sort of perceived "value" as we practiced in Alkesh's workshop. For the viewer in Scotland, this would read as more valuable than amorphous scattered tea leaves. ]]> 2023-03-13 01:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513567458 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513567871 Further samples which are spraypainted at angles to highlight the raised texture]]> 2023-03-13 01:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2513567871 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2514054369 2023-03-13 08:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2514054369 qerickson11 https://padlet.com/qerickson11/hfx7ldtqzuffk8c0/wish/2514063360 Early version of what would become my "Rock Pendant."
