Mother's Milk

I went and saw Hoon Lee, ceramisist and performance artist at the Schneider Museum on campus. I saw him  speak earlier this week and even had the courage to approach him to discuss an aspect of his performances. Lee's performance usually include using milk to serve a penance to his mother, to racial differences, and gender issues. Tonight he washed raw clay molds of strange but edible objects (roosters, sheep heads, cabbage heads, corn cobs, giant snails). After the mail performance he invited anyone to wash an item which . Lee and my ceramics professor Robin Strangefeld went to school together on the east coast. It's pretty inspiring to think that friends we meet now in art school could potentially be internationally celebrated. It must be a kick to be professors now and inviting each other to be visiting artists at their respective schools.
