Final Project

Final project song

The Honorary Title - Dilute

The island's small and desolate
The highways stretch towards nothingness..
Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce.
And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer.

I will pretend that you won't be gone
Distance dilutes and rewrites and rewrites
And I will pretend that you wont be gone
Distance dilutes and rewrites
(this song)

The island's small and desolate
The highways stretch towards nothingness
Weeds infest our front lawn, the picket fence impales the sun that silhouettes on our houses dressed up in luminesce
And the softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer

I will pretend that you won't be gone
Distance dilutes and rewrites and rewrites
I will pretend that you won't be gone
And distance dilutes and rewrites
(this song)

But I keep asking you to tell me what is wrong
And you, you just tell me that it's nothing, at all
But in your helplessness I can see, you know I can see

The softest part of your flesh helps my body ingest sleep in the dead of the summer

I will pretend that you won't be gone
That distance dilutes, rewrites and rewrites
And I will pretend that you won't be gone
Distance dilutes it rewrites and rewrites
And I will pretend that you won't be gone

John Chamberlain was born in 1927 in Rochester, Indiana, but grew up in Chicago. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, and then Black Mountain College. In his work, he uses a lot of scrap metal, specifically car parts. His first work using car parts was "Shortstop" in 1957. His work has been displayed at the Museum of Modern art, The Guggenheim Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary art. Some of his influences are Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline.



This piece, "The Privet," caught my attention right away. I first noticed it because of its size, but when I looked at it closer, I saw that it was a very intricately made piece. Each strip of metal had a different pattern, and the strips were all interwoven. I could tell the artist paid great attention to detail, but at the same time, the piece did not look too intentional. I liked the way all the different strips came together collectively to make this piece.
