When I entered this gallery I encountered pictures of, or relating to Marijuana. When I see pictures of “weed,” I find that they are usually connected with the colorful and psychedelic artistry of the 1960’s. I was stunned to find that the photos in this gallery were beautifully taken as colorful, green, agricultural photographs. There were also a few photographs such as the first and last photo posted above that cross into a creative boundary. It is incredibly inventive how the artist coordinated the people’s tie dye shirts and the green and blue paint/medium, enabling it to look similar to a Marijuana plant and Bong. I am taken aback however, the title of “Sister.” I am still contemplating the titles’ initial relations to the photographs. I assume the artist must have been around Marijuana for their entire life and perhaps it almost seems like a sibling.
We are a group of Art students from the University of California Riverside who are attending a series of Art Galleries in several parts of Southern California. We have decided to use Blogger.com to post the pictures we take, and record our thoughts and opinions about the work we visit. You can find our critiques and thoughts on the work in the "comments" field, which appears below the pictures of the art.
