ONE OF OUR OWN - AMAZINGLY POIGNANT INSTALLATION
Posted on Jul 28, 2009
Graphic Design student and former intern has sent along a pretty fantastic art installation that he conceived while at design school. Patrick is a pretty creative guy and really has some big thinking behind the things he produces. He has come a long way and has found a bit of a foot hold in this voice that he has always had but grown into expressing outwardly. The experiment is simple. Find common, dingy shoes at various Goodwills and such. Polish them up and make them look like they were new. Display them simply to show off their new facade. Look closer and realize that there is a great message stirring here. Maybe something along the lines, without getting to presumptuous or pretentious, of no matter where you've walked before, tomorrow is a new day. Or maybe something like an old pair of shoes can become something new and full of life with a little bit of pride and joy. Maybe a matter of just shifting our perspective.
