Dislocated
I went to view Katie Wojan's art work titled Dislocated. Her display was one of the only one's put together in the gallery so her work was really the center of attention. I found her collection extremely interesting. It appeared to me to be a conglomeration and blending of treasure maps, topographical maps, and the traditional geographic maps. What was most interesting about the form of the land was that it wasn't just the typical map, she moved and probably even created her own land masses. But what made this collection stand out was the fact that Wojan incorporated her words into each piece. The words where her personal experiences from adventures she had while traveling. So in a sense her creation was like a treasure map because through the course of her travels and through her work at Saint Mary's she has in part found herself.
