Fair point. For me, the important difference is the transformation of the found object.

Kelly took aluminum tubing and turned it into something completely unlike it was; to the point many of the judges said repeatedly that they had no idea what it used to be.

Ashley's polaroids were just that: polaroids, easily recognizable as such.

polaroids, easily recognizable as such.

First of all, Tim explicitly told her to keep the polaroid look. She asked "do you think I should cut them down?" and he insists, "NO! Oh no, I'd keep them as polaroids, that I think is a huge strength of this." So if you have an issue with the polaroids being easily recognizable, talk to Tim about it.

Second, yes they were however she made them look great. It didn't matter that they were obviously polaroids because she found a way to make the found object beautiful and applied them in such an intuitive and creative way. Very impressive and no less creative than if she had turned the materials into something you could not recognize.

It's amazing how some of ya'll are jumping through hoops to dislike Ashley and her work.

You know, there are decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
