If I am being perfectly honest, I was exausted when I went to the Spencer. I spent the morning pumping myself with caffein and blasting Kanye West to stay awake. However, three objects stuck out to me during my visit.
The first was the Chinese sculpture of all the broken pots glued together. This technically wasn't apart of the official tour, but this piece made me rethink the definition of collage, expanding it beyond just the basics perhaps.
The second was the image of all the movie screens. The amount of emotion displayed through the repetition of blank space shocked me. I was filled by the overwhelming sense of the passing of time, and that while things are growing, we are leaving behind so much beauty.
The third photo that stuck out to me was of the man in the museum, standing in the crosshairs of cupid's arrow (or rather a statue of cupid). This to me was first of all funny, but secondly showed me about implied line, a theme I would like to apply to my artwork, seeing as my current piece is based on relationship and division.
Also, the fact that the guy in the arctic picture wasn't actually wearing any pants was really funny.
