The Shapes Project

After reading the information provided about the shapes project by Allan McCollum I was pretty much amazed. I can't begin to imagine how amazing all of the shapes together would look like. Even though I am amazed now by it I wasn't so sure of it before reading about it. In all honesty I thought it was kind of a boring concept...to make shapes for everyone?...I really didn't understand how he went about doing this or why...what was the point of it?...but it is all pretty clear to me now. The process of putting together all the parts is quite clever. I also like how he made sure to be able to have it be continued after he is passed away. I also like how he has some of them set aside not just for the soul purpose of it being a shape, but to be used in many different ways. Overall I'm impressed by his project he has going and I'll be sure to keep track of it now that I know of it.
