Bailey Art Gallery

This picture stood out to me a lot because how creative it is, however i don't quite understand it. If "I can not remember" is cut out, what's the difference with "I can not forget" being imprinted. I suppose "I can not remember" is symbolized through the words falling out, but since it's cut out of the paper, it looks more like it's carved into memory. I do understand and appreciate the "i can not forget" being imprinted into the paper because it's literal.

This piece I especially liked because of all the realness involved. It's the perfect depiction of the art produced by early grade school children. They're always taught the writing lesson, with structure and harsh rules, but when they're given the opportunity to create, to draw what they feel, thats' when the real lesson is being taught.
