Gina Mazany, born and raised in Anchorage Alaska; currently missing it dearly! I love the snow and sunshine, prefer them to be at the same time. I love to ride what we call "snowmachines" and everyone else calls "snowmobiles"... weird. Before I left Alaska I was training super tough to fight in Canada; it was successful. Now that I am in the city I am ready to get down with my future, and hopfully my successful career.

Why Do I Like What I Like?
This assignment gave me a chance to dis on some fine art. So I was pretty excited about it. My friend Todd and I, who is also in the general education class, went out to look around at the sculpture park, and he pointed out the piece “Bunyons Chess” and said “I’m doing my project on this ugly piece” and I said “please explain…” Todd ranted off about this obnoxious random piece of “art”. The more I listened to what all he hated about it, the more I wasn’t liking it myself. The piece in the park seemed a bit annoying to me. The statue “Bunyon’s Chess” is located Olympic Sculpture park by an artist Mark di Severe. Its made up of stainless steel and wood. When I first approached this “art” figure, I was actually confused that it was an actual piece of art… that people do walk by and “oooo or ah it”. All it basically is, is a couple logs suspended by chains and wires. That’s all I saw. But I am sure that this piece had a lot more meaning to it than just logs and chains. I am the kind of person that you cant knock it until you try it, or try to understand it. So I figured I might as well check up on this piece. When I read up on the statue “Bunyons Chess” it referred itself to Paul Bunyon. Paul Bunyon was a legendary logger, so I am assuming that, that is what the logs represent. The piece is 22 feet high so the height of the statue represents the “greatness” and size of Paul Bunyon. When I first saw this piece it was completely unappealing to me. It isn’t a piece that I would like to own, or have in my yard; maybe as a jungle gym. Now that I know some background on the piece; I find that the information will help me sound smarter when I am going on a stroll with a cute boy, and he just so happens to ask about this interesting piece. Then I can respond with all my useless knowledge on this piece. But unfortunately that’s all I would like about it, is if it made me look intelligent on a hot date. But I don’t want to be a complete jerk. I do understand that somebody’s garbage can be somebody else’s treasure. I am unfortunately not digging this piece. Although it’s not in my way so I cant complain about it too much! It is what it is!
