I'm so glad I got to see Liz's collection of work. Her love and care for tape is so awesome and intriguing. It leaves me wondering why she used tape in the first place. At her review, she turned the entire into an art piece. While somethings were displayed as full pieces, others were just documentation of her performance pieces from this semester. She was careful with how the documentation pictures looked to make sure it was just as presentable as the physical pieces. I love the way Liz's mind works. She uses this tape to create a whole new form of beauty. I'll never forget that one time in class she said that "tape is forgiving". Like what?! Who says that about masking tape? Pure genius if I do say so myself.
I wish Liz had pushed the space of the room a little more. Both John and Adriana were talking about that. I would have loved to have seen giant tape forms or more tape protruding from the walls, or maybe just more tape on the walls or floor. It would have been interesting to see and entire section of the floor covered in tape. Adriana said that she would have liked to have seen the words she uses to describe tape (image above) actually shown to us instead of written. Maybe next time, Liz could play with those ideas and fill the space a little more. I can't wait to see where Liz's work with tape takes her next.
