I'm trapped in a snowglobe, except it's happening outside

My Installation Art course got out early, but I can't go home just yet because I have a meeting at 4:30. And then training at Sweetwaters (we're taste-testing tonight!). There's homework I should be doing, but unfortunately, it's all at home. Too bad.

So I'm just sitting on my favorite art school couches, watching the snow slowly fall and I wish I was back home with a fire in our living room, drinking hot cocoa, and reading a book for hours without feeling guilty about not being "productive." Maybe this weekend...I'm realizing just how packed my school week is and I'm thankful that it's only Mon-Thurs.

I'm starting research on this artist, Brian Jungen, for my Installation Art class. I first heard of him in an UTNE article this past fall and have been following him since. Here's my favorite piece, as made from plastic lawn chairs:


And another made from Nike shoes:



I think they're absolutely elegant and look forward to learning more about his ideas. I'll report back.
