Final Friday

walking around at Final Friday only two places reallystuck out to me. One of them was WSU Shiftspace. Upon entering the establishemnet I realized that this building was tiny. There weren't alot of people in the room and there was only about elven or twelve pieces of artwork in the whole space. The video that was playing was interesting because it showed what looked like to me stuffed animals in their original habitats, which was kind of ironic to me due to the fact that they were stuffed. The video also jerked around alot, which was quite unnerving because it looked like an old horror film whe it did that. Another piece that caught my attention was a piece by Landon Taylor, this piece was a collection of multipe photographs each showing a different section of one area and then placed together with the others to make a bigger area. What I found really interesting was the fact that he seemed to change the time of day in each photograph because there would be subtle differences between them. Overall that piece was my favorit. The second place that caught my attention was a place called Bedazzled. When I first walked in for some reason I did not expect to walk around a store. Everything in that store was beautiful. Each piece of jewlery use color in a different way than the last one. Their big thing was hearts by their featured artist Alan Fullrich. In the store there was this giant wire horse that caught your attention. This horse had teeth which was kind of funny because usually you don't see a horse with teeth. In the very back of the store there was a place where you could stand and watch people make the things that were out in the rest of the room. That was really interesting and I could have stood there and watched them for hours. Overall Final Friday was a big hit with me.
