That’s a worthy read, QuantMech. Thanks! Pretty funny… And, sadly, a little too true.
When we went for parents orientation, the school had invited a “distinguished graduate” who had an artist in residency. They work in fiber arts (my wife’s field) so we thought “sounds great”. Until we looked at their work.
Their fabric work was, I think, the basis of the “nothing” photographed for that blog post. Except, it was accompanied by a long treatise on what meaning motivated the artist to create his version of “nothing”. Balderdash. But, then, he’s the one earning a living by writing balderdash and making nothing.
