Work of Art - Page 7

I would have given it to Peregrine by a slim margin, but I was very impressed by Abdi. Interesting to compare Abdi at home with Mom to Miles at home with the folks. Abdi seemed like a grown up at his Mom's house, Miles seemed like a little boy who hasn't left yet. Peregrine sure as heck had the most bohemian crib, even if she described her marriage as conventional. I'd love to end up as half of such an arty pair in such a space.

I find the ideas behind Peregrine's work far more compelling than Abdi's, but I've never been much of a fan of collage. I like it to some degree, but while I love the individual elements that go into her sculptural collages a whole lot, I don't really like the aesthetic of the piles she ends up with. Just a bit more attention to structure and arrangement would go a long way for me.

With what she's said about her commune upbringing, the "conventional marriage" line got a chuckle out of me.

Well, we finally got to watching it this evening. First of all, I have to sat I COMPLETELY loved this show! It was super exciting, interesting and throught provoking. Bring on more!

I was really loving everything Peregrin did. I thought her entire installation worked together as a whole beautifully. It reminded me of some of the room installations at the MOCA Ecstacy show. She really was my pick to win and I'm disappointed she didn't. I am looking forward to seeing her work in the future - I think she's going to have a brilliant career.

I do have to say that all three artists did really great collections. All three were cohesive, thought provoking and interesting. I'm just surprised by the outcome. Abdi was my last choice of the three.
