Stuff Seen - Paryse Martin
Howdy!

On the other hand, Ms. Martin's stuff was pretty darn cool. While she makes use of garden gnomes and other kitsch to make her art - the thing that sent me over the edge was the cardboard. Man, what cardboard! She rolls it up tiny, pokes it so that it develops a third dimension, paints it, makes absolutely breathtaking designs with it, in general looks like she has a lot of fun with it (although I also gotta assume that she has an awful lot of patience, too). I didn't quite get the gnomes, hence her not getting into the rarified air of an "A" grade. But kick-ass none the less.
