Inspiration of Wed-nes-day.

It all began when I saw THIS photo!

crazy awesome.






So then I peeked around and discovered the prize.....

This brought up way to many ideas:
1. 3D letter made out of staples - protruding from the wall. From a stark white dorm wall. Our studios' walls.
2. what could I hang off of each and every staple? Ribbons....have a fan blow them like hair, or ripple like water, or on the ceiling so that i could have the image protrude towards the viewer when they look up.
3. that must've been extremely tedious and I wonder if he stapled himself at all.  I wonder if you could stand back with a staple gun and shoot at the wall so that they stick.

I also found a photo of a technique I saw once on a field trip with my SVA class in the city the spring of my junior year of high school.  We'd been roaming around Chelsea going to different galleries, and this one had a huge slab of sanded down magazines up on the wall.  Much bigger than the one in this image.  I thought it was a really great technique though because it resembled a topographic map, and could be used to interpret many different concepts.  I like the idea of the holes (in other images they broke through the back page), but when I saw the technique in real life it was 'whole' all the way through the piece.
