What you said about serendipity and how you feel it is a term lazy artists use to pass off the hard thinking onto the viewer really resonated with me. I enjoyed your interpretation an viewing of her work and I especially loved " Yes, there was random, but with intent." You are very eloquent and purposeful with your words and I admire that.

So....don't hate me... but it was serendipitous that I paired you and Rylan!!! The paring was random, pretty much, but I did pair students who did/did not attend the field trip, in order to support your level of experience. I think it worked out well that the two of you could continue to reflect on the element of chance - and the definition of laziness/skill (lack thereof). You said "However, Pindell has changed my mind - somewhat." - I'm excited about that! And to re-quote what Rylan responded to - "There were no truly random parts of her art. There was a chosen random, a curated random. Yes, there was random, but with intent." Awesome. The rest of your post was equally thorough, thoughtful, and filled with evidence of great learning and experience. Beautiful work!
