What a load of crap...

[Wing Nut]

First this girl blames everyone else for her mistakes, then she cops out, the tries to get them to pay to fix the mistake SHE made, then says a true artist wouldn't care about the mistakes!  This girl has serious self-esteem issues...

I'm a tad worried about you Kevin. Where on earth do you find all this crap, let alone waste your time worrying about it.

PS. Keep taking the pills.

• The load of crap is her "art".  They should have just hired a blind five year old and gave him candy as payment.  At least it would've come out looking better.
• Why don't they just get somebody else to fix it?  Are they afraid of ruining something.
• The first thing that came to my head, Hagar's already covered.  How do y'all find these stories?

Yahoo!, the check-out counter rag magazine of the Internet.


I understand what he is saying, $40,000 and you know that was taxpayer money spent. And after acknowledgeing her mistakes then decides to turn around and call it the "art" the reason for the mistakes and not her own inability to correctly spell

But Dread getting all uptight over stuff like this can lead to high blood pressure and stress which is not good especially since the task of another contest is at hand and reading Yahoo News might just cause error in judgement and that would be unfair to all  ;D

Speaking as a professional ceramic artist of 33+ years and a background as a professor of ceramics.......:

I feel that this person's original mistake and subsequent attitude about correcting the situation is an embarrasment to the field.  It is completely unprofessional, in my opinion.

Intentional mis-spellings can certainly be used to artistic effect at times... but my guess from the image and the context was that in this particular case that was NOT any part of the intent of the piece.  In fact, she admits that she was "on her hands and knees" and did not see it and also that others should have seen the "mistake".

The most qualified person who should have seen the mistake was HER.  The final "review" of the completion of a piece of artwork resides with the ARTIST.

I would guess that she has installed this commissioned piece (that likely went thru numerous reviews) that does not match the proposal submitted.  It is only if the mis-spellings are in the approved public art proposal that I feel that there is any grounds for her to stand upon.

If the city actually has already given her the $40,000 before inspecting the piece to comply with the contract,.... I do also have to say that THEY screwed up a bit.  She should not have gotten her money until the installation matched the proposal.  A contractual deposit on the piece, yes.... the full payment....no.

I personally would not be surprised nor have an objection if the city subsequently sued her for breach of contract, got the money back,  and had the defective piece removed.

My $0.02 worth.

and had the defective piece removed.

Can we have fun if they do it?  Like, say, letting loose on it with a M2?

What complete and utter crap!
