Golf course 1997

The piece of art was a rather large piece that was covered in trash and fake grass. Everything was layered on top of each other as to give it a feel of depth. There was fake grass near the top of the piece and the head of a putter was cut off and placed above that grass to make it look as if some one was playing golf on top of the grass. Beneath the grass was a bunch of garbage and waist. There was also a dinosaur head beneath the grass that looked like it was hiding in the shadows and eating a human finger. The denotation I thought was how high society has grown to cover up all its bad past and anything they don't want people to know about. The connotation I feel is that society has gotten so high and proud of its self that it wants to cover up all its blunders and that they try to keep everything under ground.

  1. This was a good interpretation of the piece, Sean. Most of Rockman's work has to do with environmentalism in some way shape or form and I think your read fits right in with that.
