Everyday Objects Become Art

Installation art is a very unique way of art. When looking at it I often times question how much thought and creativity is really necessary to create the works that these artists are producing. Taking a more analytical look though, viewers find the deeper aspirations of the artist and the work starts to make more sense then before. Fred Wilson is one of these types of artists whose work is interesting but not flattering until you realize his deeper thoughts. One specific piece, "Dark Dawn", that incorporates black glass that looks like it is dripping down the wall and forming a puddle on the ground. He used black to represent racism and to show the sadness that comes along with racial division. A significant amount of his works deal with racial problems and his ideas that he tries to express through his art has a lot of significant views from his past and current life.
