Sunday Artist, A Selbe, Harrell Fletcher

Harrell Fletcher is one of the creators of the website Learning to Love You More. I was researching his cocreater Miranda July, and wanted to see what he was like. His website is frustrating because everything you click on opens a new page, i looked down and i had like 13 browsers open at once. But thats beside the point. Harrell Fletcher did one piece that i really enjoyed. It is called "More Everyday Sunshine"

From the Series "More Everyday Sunshine", Photography and Light installations, Harrell Fletcher.

It is a piece that was funded by Region Arts and Culture Council in Downtown Portland Oregon. This piece is created by solar spotlights that that light up specific things at night. The lights light up pedestrian walkways. I thought this work was really cool because it does something good for the community and it creates these interesting lighting situations that are completely unexpected. I really think it would be amazing to walk to down this street and to see the odd things that are spotlighted with these solar lights. There are more images on his website, I chose these two because they show just how odd the lighting on the street is.

This really was the only work of his that i really connected with but there is something very interesting on his site. He has a list of ideas, they are bizarre and odd and fun to read.

Here are two examples:

-For sale in gallery undeveloped rolls of film that i shoot.

- Produce a set of my drawings as temporary tattoos.

Some see so silly and they range in all different subjects. I really love the idea of selling undeveloped rolls of film that are already shot. I think it would be totally interesting and i would buy them from photographers that I like. Odd stuff.
