Alternate Exhibition

In terms of format, I loved the setup that Polly Apfelbaum created in her "Blossom" exhibition. I chose her work over the other artists because she uses simple materials to create something large and beautiful. Also, her "rainbowesque"flower setup is appealing because it leaves the viewer wondering what she is trying to express through her art. After looking at this piece, I started to wonder how she chose where each color would be, and why. 

Although I admire the work that Apfelbaum has done, I do not want my exhibit in the gallery to resemble hers. Because I plan on knitting, my portion of the gallery will be more simple and less visually appealing. However, I will experiment with different materials, as I assume that Apfelbaum does as well. I will try out new stitches and colors when creating my final knitting piece.
