The exhibition "Made By Man" created by the artist J. Casey Doyle was a remarkable made up of about 7 pieces and they were nothing short of outstanding. The pieces were made out of synthetic ribbon, like you would put on presents and make pom-poms out of. These pieces of art were all made of very bright, vibrant colors that would be aesthetically pleasing to just about anyone. They were all made by knotting the different strands of ribbon together and hung on the wall for everyone to view them.
Interpretetting these different pieces was hard for me to do, just like all the different pieces we have seen and looked at. But, if i had to interpretate them, i would have to say that he was maybe trying to say that one can make something, art, out of anything as long as you have the want to attitude. These ribbons are very fragile and they rip/ fall apart fairly easily. When i first saw the pieces, i thought that they were just woven blankets, or maybe some type of fabric. But, upon further review, i notice that they were fragile ribbons woven into a series of knots to for some sort of fabric. To say what it means to its maker is not for me, nor anyone else, to decide or determine. It is truly up to the artist to say what it means to him. We were not there when he made the piece, so we do not know exactly what it means to him. This piece changes my thought process because when i saw this piece i realized that anyone can make something out of anything. The sky really is the limit, if you set your mind to it.
In conclusion, i want to say that this exhibition was a remarkable one. This artist did an outstanding job with presenting his work for us, as students, and for everyone else to enjoy. This show was interesting, mind blowing, and just outright amazing. Even though this class is over, I am looking forward to seeing what is next to come into the gallery.
