Art is both personal and something we want to share with others(most of the time). It allows us to express our individuality and also relate to others. For example, the piece Untitled by Bernadette Mingus; I believe the material is ceramic and she has composed an everyday scene of a woman's personal life into something beautiful, by putting the tiny red and white pieces into a mosaic. A student who was working the gallery noted how diligent Mingus was while crafting this, a dedicated perfectionist. I was attracted to the piece for its unique look- vintage but with bold colors, it gave me an Italian or Latin feeling. Also, the subject matter drew me in because I feel I am always looking at a woman's life as art...
