Materializing New Space

I want to start off by saying that the two people that came in and talked to us were very talented and very descriptive in everything. They help us understand the entire thought process behind their work, while most other artists just tell us what they wanted to happen. This is my third art showing here at OSU Mansfield and this is definitely my favorite one, so far. The work, to me was interesting and it really made you think about what you were actually looking at. There was mystery in their art and it made me think.
There was one piece that REALLY stood out to me, and that was that big long one as soon as you walk into the gallery. I forget the name of it but, to me, forgetting the name makes it even more of a mystery. I liked this one so much because it had a sinister side to it. It was dark and creepy and a little grungy. It also kind of reminded me of one of those "ISPY" books. I used to look at those all day, and in the piece there is stuff all over the place. I actually found myself looking at the piece for different items, to see what all i could find.
My interpretation does not differ from the artists intentions, except for once concept. I did not really understand the political point in the picture. All i saw was the bird and all of the objects surrounding it. Although, i do not deny his intentions, but i did not see the political viewpoint in the picture it self.
All of my questions that i thought of were answered during the lecture. There were all answered without even having to ask the question. Overall, I feel like this is the best showing that has come to OSU Mansfield. The artists were very down to earth and their pieces were really interesting and made you actually look to see what you are seeing. Very good job to the artists.

Photo Interpretation

What i see, What it means, and how do you know.
In this photograph i see, what seems to be, a man smiling. he has white skin and also white teeth. He has a bit of peach fuzz on his upper lip but it is not a whole lot. this picture is a close up of this person's mouth as the person was smiling. There is a completely black background that makes you focus on the teeth. There are also little specs of stains on the teeth.
What i feel this photograph means is a few things. This photo could turn off some people who are neat freak and germaphobes. This photograph could also make someone feel happy and in a good mood. On the other hand, someone could also feel depressed because of this picture.
The evidence i have to support my interpretations are as the following. This may turn off a neat freak and what  not just because of the persons teeth. It kind of looks like the person has not brushed their teeth in quite some time. This may make someone happy just because of the simple fact that the person in the photograph is smiling. Some people, whenever they see a smile, even if it's a photograph, they get happy and smile too. Last but not least, This photo also may make someone sad or depressed. The background in the picture is a pure black and that is a depressing color.  Some people also may think that the smile is fake and that might make someone sad as well.
