possible inspiration for doing an MFA

I picked up this book at the Ottawa public library yesterday when browsing though the stacks in the traditional craft section. Little did I know the power it would have to blow my mind! The use of found and natural materials to package/present/complete everyday objects elevates the mundane to small works of art. Just the thought that there was a time and place when this level of aestheic appreciation existed among everyday people is incredibly moving. Highly, highly recommended.
