Set up in my actual university college, Mills. Photos pending the ability to work my camera, but basically, the materials:

1. two sparkly spirit beads worthy of the best mardi gras bikini contest.
2. a set of colored pencils, the fourth grade special
3. a book of notecards
4. rubber bands (6000 of them) of which I only used three

Thread one string of spirit beads through the rings on the notecard book. Label the notecard book "PUBLIC ART". Awkwardly rubber band the pencils together. Shove another rubber band through the two around the pencils. Wonder the point of this proceeding. String the other spirit beads through this auxiliary band. Draw cartoon of Mills women on inside of book. Spend all day squinting at likely hooks, then discarding them as unlikely. Resent the big signs on every posting asserting that they've been passed by the school board. Consider comparions to fascism.

Finally hang everything in frequently-graffiti'd physics, math, and book art building on an unprepossessing bulletin board. Hope deeply that book art people wander back to the physics section, or else that physics professors are secretly thwarted artists.

Spend another hour trying to get the photos to go anywhere but your phone. When this fails, mope morosely around your room.

Public art achieved!

edit: Checked back today. Six drawings, including one of a bizarre one-eyed monster holding up a hand. Next to it: "Moral Support". Another is of a bunch of trees and a road, captioned "Mills from my office." Good times.


edit 2: now with photos taken by holding up my computer towards the various objects. Unsubtle, but enthusiastic!
