Scott Greiger

Scott Greiger's work was very interesting to me... I am a fan of things that deal with the effect of consumerism in our lives. I liked when he said that people in other countries are making our shoes while they have none and that the children here are killing each other for these items....it is so true, and sad. If I were to walk into this gallery where this installation was, I would have to stop and ponder it for a while...he just keeps bringing so many elements into it and everything has a specific purpose, I would just hope that there would be a brief explanation somewhere. I also liked the line about how he is an image collector, not an image inventor...I could see myself in a position like that, just tweaking items that already exsist to create meaning instead of sculpting something so that it has meaning. My skills are not that impressive so maybe I should find someway to make this statement true for me. He dapples in different types of media for this, digital, fabric, the paint on the walls... but it all comes together so nicely. I think that he does this more so for society, bringing awareness to issues that we may be having in our economy.
