DAY 3: Angeles (Angie) Griffith

Today I went to Picasso's, a local coffee shop, to begin writing a paper and preparing for a presentation I am giving on artist, Barry McGee. A lot of his work was centered around urban life, taking on a pessimistic perspective, looking at the lives of the people who call the street their home, the negativity of mainstream as a whole, including our society being bombarded by advertising. The only way to get away from this bombardment is to lock yourself in a dark room and on top of this, we are pressured to keep up with the latest trends and gadgets, technology and even our use of time, over working ourselves.
