When I sit in the Park Rapids museum, I hear music playing, breaking up silence throughout the unbalanced room. The smell of the museum tickled my nose with an old rotted out stinge that smells like a wet dog. I look at a piece of art by Gail Katz-James I see many different colors and objects. If I look very close at the piece I see objects that I am familiar with, washers, rubber belts, wire, and colorful beads. Seven windows hang on the wall, all different shapes and shades of colors, bright colors, dull colors, depressing colors, every color catching my eye in a different meaning. The cold touch of the metal windows feels as if the metal is cast iron. The cut up rubber belts breaks up the colored washers and beads and gives each window a unique design.
   

Some people might look as this sculpture and talk about the beautiful windows that are in churches. How each window has a brilliant design, like every bible verse has a different meaning. How a person interprets objects at first, can change how a person will think about the meaning of the object.
   

Each window has a different type of washer portraying different shapes and colors. Every windows serves a different meaning. I look at the seven windows and how each color on the windows represents the weather like the forecast this upcoming week. When I think about this piece of art I think of how the seven windows represent the seven days in a week. As I look at the many different types of washers it reminds me that every day is different from the last, different weather, different events, and different moods. The colors on the washers all represent the different weather that each day brings. The cut up rubber belts gives each window frame a different unique pattern that distinctly points out the seven different windows.
   

To me, this piece of art has a raw interpretation on myself. The cut up rubber belts shows an overall impression on how the day went. When the belt is curved down, it tells me that day was not good, hence the frown face. Every windows rubber belt has a slight curve down, or a major curve down. The seven days in this sculpture did not seem to go well, as if I was starting out finals week in school and as I got further through the week I got more anxiety or nervous about the tests I was going to take, but the days I had an easy shop class seemed to go better. Each day had a different mood, proving every day is different; no matter if someone got a new toy, or a person got a flat tire in their vehicle.
   

The first window, shining bright colors displays happiness on God's day. The smoothly spinning Sunday had pieces of happiness that made the belt have no curve. The second window has a smooth outline with bright colorful tint. As Monday morning started off sunny blue skies, but the day went on rain started to come and lighting started to hit, made the windows have a slight frowny curve to show it was blue. The third window had a blocky outline as the Tuesday morning heat sprung above earth's crust and filled the skies with gloomy colors and depression as the rubber belt shows a major curve. As the fourth window seeks happiness, it strikes out with a gloomy day; when there is no hope for happiness, the dark sky splits up and tints the world with blue and happiness. Wednesday’s belt started curved down, but brightened up as the skies turned blue. The fifth window, Thursday, started smoothly with bright blue colors as happiness had hit, the old, cut up, rubber belt had no curve. Friday, the sixth window, had gaps, something was missing, the rain melted away onto earth's cold wet crust. The rubber belt had a major curve like a frown face. Filled with blue colors, Saturday the seventh window was smooth and tinted as the tint had a gloomy state. Boring, the belt didn't seem to move. The seven windows were decrypted by the colors of the washers and beads signifying the weather. The washers signified how the day was going to go, if the day was smooth, rough, flat, or simply plain. The cut up rubber belts showed the overall perspective on that day.
   

The sculpture by Gail Katz-James shows that not every day is a good day. As this description of the cathedral window describes final week at the end of a trimester. I learned that no matter what life throws at you, take the challenge and better yourself as a person. Take the condition that you're dealing with and make the best out of it. Sometimes conditions can change a person's day in a heartbeat. I learned from writing this paper to live each day to the fullest, because you don't know when that day will be your last.
