This evening I was so pleased to find Yuken Teryua's work, "Notice-Forest," which is made from a McDonald's paper bag. This ugly piece of tree pulp, soaked in grease and strange chemical additives*, has turned into a intricate representation of its former, natural self.

I also like "Color the World," which is a blantantly political work that seeks to put the viewer 's potential nationalism into perspective.

Thus I have concluded that my taste in art, and indeed life itself, has come to center around the political.


*An example from Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma is the petroluem derivative TBHQ which is a form of butane that one might also know as the fluid in cigarette lighters. Disturbing, huh?
