Following on from my plant survey experiment I have now realised that art, or the making of art, can be a process of changing our perceptions by slowing us down or forcing us to look at things differently. Art can have a very important role in communicating ideas by just drawing our attention to something, changing our viewpoint, etc.
By creating interuptions in our 'normal' landscape or cityscape Christo & Jeanne-Claude make people view the world differently - making the viewer aware of something that has always been there that we have ceased to notice, by covering it with cloth.
To let you know that I have given your blog an award and a mention on mine.
