Art Event 2

The next art event I went to was actually very different. It might not have even been considered an “event,” but more as a way of life. Over Valentine’s day weekend my fiance and I took a trip up to Mammoth. On the way up there, there was this very interesting place in a very tiny town that a man had built up, it was what looked liked a store, but in the backyard it looked much like an artist dream house.  This man took everything he could find,things that most people would consider junk or trash, and made them into amazing sculptures. Some of these sculptures had an everyday use, like a chair or lamp and some of these things were made for simple pleasure. He used glass bottles, rope, light bulbs, huge pieces of metal and just crazy things that could take years to list. I really enjoyed this because it kind of reminded me of the 1000 journals project. He just felt like sending out journals to see what would come up and this guy here just felt like making a house/store out of what he could find to see what it could turn into. The artist was not there when we stopped to see it, so I couldn’t get all of the information, but here are a few pictures. I was affraid that somebody would stop me, so I tryed to take them very fast and sneakingly, in other words, please don’t mind the quality of the photos. Also it’s kind of hard to see the the beauty of these objects in the photos, but just trust me, it was a sight to see!!
