Critiques for group A were today.
There were a couple of pieces that really spoke to me.
The CAUTION piece was important for me, not because of the artists original meaning, but the word caution and where it was placed on campus. I live in Hunt Village and I walk through the woods to class very close to where the artist had displayed the work. The artist had meant to say caution with the materials that humans use. I took the piece as a reminder of not letting your guard down in places like the sparsely trafficked path through the woods.
