The Art Assignment: “The Muster”, given by Allison Smith (artist: minnesbeta):
1. Answer the question “What are you fighting for?”
2. Fashion your own uniform that declares your cause.
3: Take a picture of yourself in your uniform in front of a neutral background.
What am I fighting for?
I am fighting for the balance of the system. Nothing exists in a vacuum, every component of the system is dependent on the whole. The system is always changing, links are being cut and new bonds are being formed, but it's never in isolation. It is always formed and reformed as a whole. If to many parts of the system are being cut away, the rest will fall apart.
The aspect of the uniform I choose to focus on for this assignment were the service ribbons. The boy scout badges of soldiers that show your deeds in the field. Each ribbon represents a medal or order given to you as a result of your actions.
In my field of battle, these are the ones I've earned, which are yours?
International naval traveling force - National wolf campaign - Ant guarding campaign
No animal testing medal - Victory of wind power - War of the grassfire
Hedgehog protecting medal issued by bonfires - Footprint awareness medal - Preservation medal
Tiger and bees combined efforts campaign - Worm compost campaign - Victory of solar power
Order of art - Glacier trapping medal - Memories from a parallel future commander ribbon
International land traveling force - Organic food distinguished service medal - International bacteria host
