During my residency here in Chicago at SAIC, I’ve been focusing on “play.” I’ve been trying to play more with different mediums, various concepts in 3D, and workflows. I recently gave welding a try in the metal shop last week.
This idea of play has given me the opportunity to enjoy the process of making art more. I don’t necessarily have deadlines to adhere to, but I’m still making an effort to create as much as possible while I’m here. At this moment, I have about a week and a half left until I return to Tennessee. My goal is to keep playing with different concepts and to have a direction to continue on once I leave Chicago.
I’m including a gallery of the work I’ve been doing in my studio; not all of these images represent finalized work. Some are the beginnings of ideas and some are examples of play. It is a series I’ve been working on; I’ve used digital and physical to explore shapes and space.
