Our product from the process.


From the first class period in October to the February of a new year, this class has been focused on the meaning of a message. Through physically dissecting what a book beholds and discovering the truth behind the diverse connotations that the written word has, the MF 14s have explored many ways for an individual to communicate ideas, stories, and truths.
When planning the final installation project, the group wished to tell their own story—by exploding the book, story, and written word. The stories of a diverse group of individuals come to life in a tangible form of clothing, clotheslines, and a huge puzzle. While each message may be different, the concept stays the same: truth is not simply sketched in stone for one must go into the heart and soul of the story to get the message. Walk into the minds of different individuals. Envelope yourself in the study of others. Let your story fly away in a balloon. Become part of the art experience. And never judge a story by its façade.
