We went to see this show about a month ago and it was really fun. I hadn’t thought much about it before but my work has a similar theme. The idea of making something which is typically taken for granted out of a new medium (in my case bone) and/or messing with the scale to give the viewer a new perspective.

Vija Celmins, Eraser, 1967, acrylic on balsa wood, 6 5/8 x 20 x 3 1/8 inches

Its worth checking out and while you are there, stop by the Museum Store and buy one of my bone carvings!
