Response to Carolyn Lambert's Presentation

This was a particularly interesting presentation for me because I tend to stay away from documentation, video, performance and other similar media in my work. So it was a learning experience for me to see an artist that uses them so intelligently and in such new ways. I was especially interested in the Ohio River Lifeboat Project because I have done similar things with a tree house my father and I had built. However, I did it for the enjoyment of living in a tree house all summer. I never imagined it could be art. It is really helpful to have experiences like this to expand my boundaries a little, whether or not I ever use new media like this in my work. I just enjoying being more open to it when viewing it.
