I made this for work this morning, as an example for students, hoping to engage them with the experience of assembling a cohesive image from random household objects. Another teacher (thank you Puilan) initially put out the challenge of kitchen art and I will admit that I started this process more out of obligation (to that challenge and to building online content for my students) than for pure joy. I was surprised how quickly it shifted me into the flow state, placing items next to each other, gazing, rearranging, hunting in my cupboards which were suddenly transformed to an artist’s treasure trove of odd and beautiful shapes and colors. I really do recommend spending half an hour making your own assembled image. If you do, please share a photo. I’d love to see what you create.
