Posting for Marsha

Hi Helen-

I have not been able to post to the Blog, but have really loved this…

I just Googled Marcel Duchamp and went through a fantastic webpage “Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp.”  I found it so fascinating, it goes through his whole life and art in chronological order.  I was especially excited getting to his last work.  What a phenomenal life!  Wow!  http://understandingduchamp.com/

As I have been contemplating playing with recycled or discarded objects, have thought about how to some people trash looks like something to be discarded, and to me, well I see potential.  To express differing points of view I have been considering using some peepholes to provide little “surprise bonus” to those who participate and look closely into the piece.  I like the idea even better now that I have seen Duchamp’s last project, the gate with the two peepholes. Love it!
