My freshman year at Virginia Tech I had no idea what I was going to do so I was in an exploratory ciriculum. One of the courses I took studied Jean-Claude & Christo's Running Fence, as shown above. I was fascinated- totally hooked on the life-changing effect that art can have on the individual. To this day, I credit that course and more specifically that single piece of art as two of the most influential experiences in my life. If you can, rent the documentary and see it for yourself. The beauty of an 18 foot tall, white nylon fence running 24 miles across Sonoma and Marin Counties in Northern California is inexplicably breathtaking.
