CLIFF HOUSE
FLYING SHIP
The first thing I noticed about Rachel Feinstein’s Folly collection was its striking contrast against the lusciously green setting. All three pieces have a similar facade that gives them a feel that is mystical and out of this world, whereas its setting is natural and very familiar. What is most interesting to me about Folly is that although it looks very paper-like and flimsy, the actual structure is quite sturdy because it is made out of aluminum. After observing the pieces for some time, I realized that “folly” is the perfect name for these pieces for they do not serve a functional purpose but they sure are nice to look at.
During the last few weeks of summer my mother and I felt that we need to spend more quality time together before I had to leave for school. And so we headed to the city to catch a show on Broadway. I wasn’t familiar with the story line of Chicago but because so many people raved about it my mother and I decided to buy tickets. I’ll admit that the first ten minutes of the show was absolutely awkward because of how scandalous the actors and actresses were dressed however, the performance of the show was just so amazing that I realized that attire is a huge asset behind the art of Broadway. In the show that I watched, Amra-Faye Wright was the leading actress and she made me collect a whole new level of respect for performing artists. To be able to memorize hundreds of lines without a slip, profess emotion through body language and on top of that sing/dance…it was absolutely stunning. I give Chicago the Musical a rating of ★★★★★!
