Blog 8. My reaction to Magic Gardens!

    Visiting the place where all the magic really happens truly made my day. I couldn't believe I was finally in the presence of all the artwork of a well known artist, I had never felt that overwhelmed by art before or so intrigued. I have to go back soon and bring my mom along, to see all that he was able to do, and all the "trash" he truly did turn into "treasures".
    Looking back I can't even imagine what was going through his head when he was putting all these pieces together. The idea of a maze full of textures, colors, and everyday items really suites its name as Magic Gardens. In the events of that day I couldn't go home empty handed, yes of course I had taken pictures galore, but that wasn't enough. On my way out the door I bought a doily tile made by Zagar. It not proudly sits on a shelf in my room, the second piece to a collection of things. I decided that day not to let artwork get away, that I needed to own a piece of it, to inspire myself. I know own a Mitch Lyons clay star, a Zagar doily tile, and a Rhoda Khaler clay tile. The start of my collection of artworks, I can't wait to collect more.
