Invitation

Hey. I tried emailing this design to Eileen but she hasn't written back so I don't know if she got it.
Since I don't have David's email I'll try putting it up on the blog.
Hopefully you guys can make copies.

Sweeping Sampsonia Way

MF 14 students sweeping with grass brooms from India.





After discussing Diane Samuel's Mapping Sampsonia Way and
India's caste system, students set out to sweep Sampsonia Way with traditional
grass brooms used in India by those members of the lowest caste.

The dust, debris, & litter was collected and preserved in plastic bags
and used as the basis for a discussion about found objects, narrative art,
and the nature of "what is art?"

Wish Tree / Puja

Factory 14s students wrote down their wishes and hung them on a tree at The Mattress Factory. Next, the wishes were created as objects which were hung on, or placed beside the tree. We used kum kum powder (used in Hindu puja religious ceremonies) to make a paste which was applied to the tree and covered with marigold petals.
