Lucy-4/2/2009-Museum of Art and Design (MAD)

My fourth visit was with the Museum of Art and Design again. I went by myself but accompanied Sabrina (the artist at MAD). Last time I went to MAD, Sabrina was in the making of a wall hanging made out of recycled film and when I arrived I was happy to see it finished in the glass case outside. Because of the massive amount of film left over, Sabrina decided to make another one. This time she is making the film squares in different designs. This included sorting, cutting, placing, and sewing the pieces of film together. My job was to sort, cut, and lay the pieces out and Sabrina sewed them together. It was pretty easy to do that and I think it went very well. What interested me was all of the interesting people that come into the museum to ask questions. Most of the questions were ones I heard all day. “Where did you get this idea?” “ How are you sewing them together?” This is how I learned more and more about the art piece as the day went on. Sometimes it was hard to find a lot of one color film but in the end it worked out fine. After doing this work I felt like we had accomplished something. I had a great time doing it, and I was very much involved. Overall I had a great time and I am glad I did it.
