In the past, group art projects have resulted is some very interesting amorphous blobs. This project is no different. Except this time, the whole point was to make an amorphous blob; which is characterized by being being too abstract to even slightly portray anything, even if that thing is also nearly abstracted beyond recognition, and not being abstract enough to be completely effortless and chaotic. This means that when my partner, Quentin, and I added a bunch of paperclips in an arc around a cutout of a head, and it looked really nice, this apparently made it look too much like a thing that the paperclips had to be uprooted.
Passive aggression aside, I think my Quentin and I managed to make the piece as good as it could be without a crown of paperclips. We got along well; he seemed in a way just as odd as I was. We acquired a Party City magazine and cut out every human (and other, sometimes) face we could find and glued them to a board, as odd people often do. We added some bits and bobs, there was a minor yet highly disappointing kerfuffle regarding paperclips, and then cut out smaller pieces of the board to take home and look at every day to inspire ourselves to become glorious warlords. I let him have the better piece.
