"The nature of a free society is that it will always be the locus of a struggle between higher and lower forms of freedom. Neither side can abolish the other, but the line can be moved, never definitively but at least for some people for some time, one way or another." - Charles Taylor, 1991
Duncan,
ReplyDeleteI saw my brother recently and he sounded interested in what you are up to when I said that you are becoming an architect. Anyways, your piece with the wire mesh reminds me of a work of art I did in university, when I did my visual arts degree. I took the wire mesh I had and took apart each individual wire from the mesh so that they became like threads. The other part to my art work was a skirt of my mom's- a pretty one- and I took out all the hem and the threading which held it together, because it was a skirt put together in pieces of fabric. Then I made a rectangle in the snow, because it was winter then, and it was about the size of my mom's coffin. I covered that part of the snow with the new blanket I'd made from her skirt and the wire threading. I did it in memory of her.
