Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Rhizome Post #1 | Morgan Haynes

In Stranger Than Wal-Mart: Three Moments, Three Images Cyane Kramer , Cyane's first image invites your mind to wander among a vast and inventive concept.

I was particularly taken with the first image description because I have never looked at the sky in such a manner. Yes it is monumentally beautiful and magnificent, but when it is portrayed as "a mosaic of white on a wash of blue" it simply transforms itself into a breathtaking piece of art. Also, the image of a "painters sponge dabbling across the sky" in itself is an amazing image to visualize which held a rather symbolic meaning to me. I could just see Christ as the painter, and this to me was an astounding concept.

It is my sincere hope that when I write I am able to contribute something of value to my reader just as Cyane did for me through her image description. I want to be able to give them something to think about. I want them to feel deep down in their gut. I want them to relate and grasp my concepts.I want to leave them guessing and wondering what I meant. I want to "Wow" my audience.
