It takes an artist to sift through the every-day news and find something a little more bizarre. However, I guess what this teaches us is that the everyday is full of bizarre...and it's all happening all around us.
I added my own little derive to this assignment and dug through people's recycling bins to find the papers I used. That's why the dates are a little sporadic. I think everyone was saving the more recent papers considering the historic landmark of electing an African American president for the very first time ever. The HISTORY in the everyday! It's amazing. Here are my blobs of bizarre-ness:
