Allan McCollum's "Shapes from Maine: Shapes Copper Cookie Cutters" features copper cookie cutters that are all unique but look the same from far away. Courtney Lemaster recreated the concept using aluminum cookie cutters of varying shapes and sizes. Umberto Boccioni's "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space" also features individually distinct but related forms. Kimsooja's "Bottari" uses bed covers in different colors and patterns to create a unified whole, which Lemaster interpreted using playing cards. Gabriel Orozco's "My Hands Are My Heart" conveys caring for the world, an idea Lemaster embodied in a photograph of herself holding a globe.

The poem describes a photograph of the poet's mother from her childhood. The photograph shows the mother at age 12 on the beach with her two younger cousins, holding their hands as they wade in the shallow water. Years later, the mother would laugh nostalgically while looking at the photograph, commenting on how they were dressed and recalling her seaside holiday in the past. Now many years after the mother's death, the poet reflects on how long ago that time was and is left speechless by the silence of loss.Katherine ron mueck powerpoint

Jeanne Chaileviar begins keeping a diary to document the changes happening in society during the Renaissance period. She works as an artist painting what the Pope commissions. She describes her family and living in a large manor house in London with over 20 rooms. She hopes to make a difference by trying new styles of art and taking risks in her work. In later entries, she discusses works she has seen by Leonardo Da Vinci and William Shakespeare that have changed perceptions of religion, God, and life.

The document discusses the alternative food movement in North America which promotes buying local, eating organic, and supporting local farmers through farmers' markets. However, these spaces often do not reflect the diversity of farmers and buyers. While local food is presented as a way to address social and environmental issues, advocating for individuals to simply buy local organic food is seen as taking a personal rather than political approach to challenging the current global food system.Canadian artists

Joseph Cornell (1903-1972)
Joseph Cornell 1
A one of a kind collector, American artist and filmmaker Joseph Cornell gathered more than just found objects. Cornell surrounded himself with physical and conceptual collections which were an integral part of his existence as a person and as a creator. While the personal diaries contained an accumulation of his thoughts, hopes, memories, experiences, and feelings, the artist's house treasured a versatile selection of objects that he obtained from New York's book stores, thrift shops, flea-markets, antique fairs, and the outdoors. Rare prints, books, photographs, toys, magazine pages, found objects, and anything else imaginable constituted his growing collection. Cornell gathered ideas and things that spoke to him and then transformed them into small interactive microcosms. By viewing his artwork we can gain a better understanding of his persona.
Comprehending Cornell's lifestyle and emotional being is crucial in viewing and appreciating his work. Spending his entire life in New York caring for his brother, who had special needs, Cornell had difficulty communicating with the outside world. Despite the multitude of his artistic connections, he lacked the ability to form relationships. Cornell's heart ached for celebrity women, for whom he expressed his affections for through art.
With no formal training, Cornell developed an individual approach to art-making, using highly complex concepts and techniques. He was especially influenced by the Surrealist style and ideas which may be detected in his Fantastic creations. Max Ernst's collages inspired Cornell to produce his own, which with time, evolved into three-dimensional assemblages. Another significant impact on his work was the Victorian Era with its lavish decorating and an overabundant use of space. Similar to Victorian homes, Cornell's house was filled with collections which he carefully organized in boxes.
Like a porous sponge, Cornell collected impressions, experiences, and sensations which he instantaneously recorded. Small shadow boxes with glass lids contain examples of the "juicy material" that Cornell had gathered. Through the glass door, unique juxtapositions of objects and images evoke a sense of wonder, luring in the audience for a closer look. The surprising arrangement of unlikely matter is reminiscent of Man Ray's Gift or Marc Chagall's I and the Village. The boxes are fantastic, poetic, nostalgic, and romantic expressions of Cornell's life, sometimes mixed with desperation and melancholy. These small cubicles of magic may be compared to the Cabinets of Curiosities in their content and display of matter. In each box assemblage, the collagist combined rare finds in the most bizarre way to tell a story about his life and to allude to the childhood that was forever gone.
In addition to the box assemblages, Cornell also experimented with film, layering scenes, sounds, and frames similar to his sculptural collages. Layers of time and mem.Chapter 8 shape

This document discusses principles of shape and volume in design. It defines key shape-related terms like figure/ground relationships, positive and negative shapes, rectilinear vs curvilinear shapes, abstraction, biomorphism, and naturalism vs idealism. Shape can be two-dimensional in pictures or three-dimensional with volume and mass in sculptures. Integration of positive and negative shapes is important for visual interest, as is considering distortion, abstraction levels, and ambiguity between figure and ground. 7螳讌 蠏碁蠏 蠍磯 螳 (Rag Rug Seven Technics)

Not one cookie cutter is the same but they look the same from far away. He used all copper in this piece. "It looks like I do them one at a time. But thats an exaggeration because I have documents that contain 144 shape parts144 tops in a specific order according to a specific sequence of a specific protocoland then, in another document, I have 144 bottoms. These arrays are numbered." - Allan McCollum

She used many different colors and patterns to make it into one. She used many variations and different sizes. Many of the colors she used were bright and vibrant colors. I think she put a piece in the middle to show a point of interest or focal point.
