Reading #4


Michal Rovner
Pg.44-51

After reading about Micahl and her artwork Mutual Interest, I was intrigued by her work of birds. Her process is very interesting, how she uses sounds, ink and computer technology to go in and manipulate her images. Her artwork really is beautiful in my opinion. At first glance I wasn’t sure what it was and after reading I began to see that is was birds, not a specific species just the symbol itself. I was interested in how she doesn’t view them as birds but as symbols. She states, “symbols are components of our cultural inheritance, they do not need to be learned, and often elicit the raw immediacy of an emotion.” This quote matches her work because you will always recognize birds no matter what it is formed into our culture. She took a common symbol and threw and artistic twist to it allowing her viewers to form an opinion and a thought. I enjoyed reading her thoughts and explanations about her work.
