artist essay
















the artist that I viewed in art 21 series was Andrea Zittel. Her childhood consisted of living in the suburbers. The common medium that she used was paint and scultupting. She felt that society was looking for something new. Many of her pieces that she made were pieces that were used in homes. She made her own clothes that were only made of rectangles. She wore one outfit for four months straight. She lived on an island that she made for a season or so. She believed in human values and preseptions in her work.
I really did not like her work because it made little sense to me. I respect her as an artist for her ability to express herself in the way she wants to, but at the same time, I do not understand how she could wear one piece of clothing for four months.
