i just saw a bunch of pieces by this guy Federico Uribe (http://www.federicouribe.com/). as always, disregard if you know him and are tired of him and his nonsense.
i especially like the shoelace 'paintings'. they make me think of clay stop-motion animation (there has got to be an easier way to say that) that i think i saw on sesame street. a bunch of little play-doh worms that slither around and squish together and do things. anyway, these 'paintings' remind me of that, but i think i just like it cause feels somehow more deliberate than oil and canvas and brushes. like, it seems to me that you can only manipulate shoelaces so much, unlike the subtleties of painting.
im sure frederico would tell me that the shoelace is a subtle and unpredictable medium, but i wouldnt really buy it, even if i nodded appreciatively and smoothly changed the subject to colored pencils.
