Week 9 - Woody Guthrie

For this week, I tried to do something very different from everything I have done up to this point. I am struck by the basic 'power' Woody Guthrie has as a musician and a man. I felt he transcends over the rest of us at a very fundamental level.  So, I tried to create two inverted mirror images, one representing "The Enlightened Man" Woody and others who have that certain je-ne-sais-quoi which makes them stand out as a collective genius. The other, entitled "The Man I Am", has the same desire, hopes, and willingness, but results in an inversion of what an enlightened man (or woman for that matter) has.
