Visions for senior year
This year I want to work three dimensional. I am very interested in working with wood in many different ways. I also want to explore water as an inspiration. Wood has always been a material that i have been comfortable with but i have never really used in art. my two favorite artist Maya Lin and Reuban Margolin use wood regularly and i really want to explore what my heros have seemed to master for so long. working with wood will help me with my senior grant because i do plan on making small houses out of wood to place around the city to put information in for homeless teens. by working with wood for studio art it will push my carpentry skills to make well crafted mini houses for my senior grant so I'm very excited to work with wood for a good amount of time making pieces I've always imagine i would make.
