The artwork “Onion” is a hybrid style of art, which incorporates Postmodern, and Conceptual style characteristics. In the artwork “Onion” I also employed a methodology I will call “recordari”, from the Latin “to remember, call to mind (re-restore and cor, genitive, cordis heart, understood by the ancients as the seat of judgment and memory” (Barnhart, 1988) (p. 896). I would like to identify “Onion” and artwork like it, as representing our “lived experience” (VanManen, 1990) in visual form. I suggest we are practicing “recordari”. “Onion “ takes you on a journey, which explores and records all the communication modes employed by our virtual community. |

Papermaking
During the creation of “Onion“, I was also working on an MnSCU Emerging Curriculum grant with 10 community college partners. As you might imagine, there were dozens of whole document edits.
I was inspired, when I finally sent the last edit in, to create handmade paper from the plethora of drafts. I employed a rough blend technique- leaving large chunks. Look closely- you may find yourself or a person you know.

I am sure the Bemidji State University Vice-President (now President) was very nervous as I took pictures of his ears with my close up lens. Everyone wants the ear of the President. His ear is here –can you find it?
