Mutual Mojo
Round table discussion with Sandy Sampson (Director, Parallel University)
Sandy and I have been talking a lot about our 'sister schools' that are running parallel to our MFA studies at PSU. We have been talking about Joseph Beuys' concept of 'warmth' as a way to think about the mojo or juju that is in the materials we use for art-making...this is especially great to think about when 'infusing' paper maché with a sort of spirit or vibe. For our round table Sandy brought two huge garbage cans full of 'scrap paper' from her job with developmentally disabled adults at Project Grow. We thought that this might be a great source of paper to use for Paper Maché (double-layered magic!), but it was SO nice and we couldn't bring ourselves to use it.
