Christo like

In my art class we reviewed art created by Christo and Jeanne Claude. Before I started reading about them I had assumed that Christo was the woman and Jeanne Claude was the man, going simply by their names of course. What interesting characters, and what background. They truly seem to have been destined to be together.

For the class I had to create "wrapping art" following the form of Christo. I didn't mind doing it but I couldn't thow myself into it because I found the images of bodies wrapped in white a bit disturbing. I am muslim and when a muslim person is buried they are wrapped in white cotton before they are placed in their coffin. Looking at the pictures and my own wrapping reminded me of death and my dad.
