I am certainly glad that my nieces enjoy life's more traditional luxuries, surprises and imagination centered entertainment. We spent the early afternoon on this Veteran's Day Holiday at the Burchfield Penny Art Center--a magnificent museum, if ever you get a chance, visit it. The "Useum" Interactive exhibit greeted us with teams of smiling faces made from old sweaters, buttons and repurposed textiles. Artist Julie Lewitzky created a land reminiscent of the archived world of H.R. Puffinstuff. My sister and I couldn't believe the degree to which every nook and surface was embellished with odds and ends easily found around the house or in a garage.
It is indeed a good sign when museums embrace the luxurious aspects of reuse.
