Scratch & sniff
Cellblock Visions is a lively collection of inmate artwork, created behind bars, from county jail to death row – the alternative artworld flourishing today in American prisons. Men and women inmates, having no previous training, turn to art for a sense of self-worth, an opportunity to vent rage, a way to find peace.They transcend the cramped space, limited light, and narrow vistas of their prison studios. They triumph over security bans with ingenious resourcefulness - extracting color from shampoo – making paint out of M & Ms – weaving with cigarette wrappers. http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/6801
Yum.
M&M's, shampoo and cigarettes. Sounds like a night with me - on paper.
I wonder if this art-work is like that stuff in magazines where you can scratch-n-sniff it?
Ya think?
