Article Review- week 5

   I found an interesting article in Bomb magazine, "Procedural Musings: Erica Harris" written by Lynn Maliszewski, November 30, 2010. Erica Harris is an impressive collage maker, working with fabrics, string, various bits of paper, maps, photographs and text. She travels all over the world, working in what could be called exchanges or charity missions, offering workshops on a variety of artistic practices. In addition to gatherings bits and pieces for her collages, Harris collects information from the places she goes.
   The author of this article interviewed Harris about her methods and inspiration. Statements from the artist and the interpretations from the author combine to make this article informative and interesting. It is a well written piece, objective and fair to the artist. Reading this article has sparked an interest in me to find more of Erica Harris' work. Which I did. Her website is worth checking out, awesome work, woodcut prints too!

And now, picture time!
