Week 8 Responses


To David-

This sculpture reminds me so much of Red Groom's work. The sculpture has a serious expression that contrasts with the humorous and exaggerated rendering. I would want to see an installation based on this piece. Is fishing time your protected thinking time in the outdoors? My interpretation of you from this piece is that you are a person of patience. You enjoy the process as much as the product. You are self-sufficient and can find value in basic living activities. You can find your way into nature and are comfortable in such non-fabricated environments. You are hands on and like to do the work yourself. You see yourself with a dose of humor.


To Katie-

I love the light humor, sense of movement, and playful overtones of your self-portrait. I also connect with how you have applied brushstrokes to your arms and legs in the painting. It appears that you are a process oriented person? It brings up personal connections that I have with art making and teaching. I love the process and often wear the supplies. It also noticed that you have intentionally let the "hand of the artist" be evident and become the building blocks of your self-portrait.
