Urban CamouflageI took a class called Earth Art last semester, and the professor did an interesting project for his Master's thesis in which he hung vintage white dresses in the woods in various different places. I think that the project itself was interesting, but one aspect of it that he left out that I think would have given it much more depth is how people reacted to it. It would really spook me to see the hanging white dresses at first, but after the initial shock it would be really intriguing, and I would want to investigate. I think that the interaction between people and art is a very dynamic part of any work of art, and personally, I think that for many projects it should be better documented.

I recently sat in on one of Mr. Birchett's presentations of the white dresses. I thought it was a very unique project but it didn't wasn't really something that fascinated me until I learned the location of the dress down in Hatteras, North Carolina. My best friend lives down in the area and apparently a while back, some guys from one of the high schools were having a bonfire on the beach when a few of them got drunk and wandered off into the dunes. An hour or so later, they came back screaming about a ghost woman wearing a white dress. Now, I know what it actually was, lol.
