For the past few weeks my department has hosted a pair of visiting artists from Nigeria.. We had Matt Ehizele (photo to the left) who works in welded steel and Mike Omoighe who is a painter. We were lucky enough to not only have them visiting classes and doing multiple artist talks for the University and the surrounding community, but they also worked on their own art while they were here. In the end, we had a wonderful time of exchanging ideas, learning about each other's culture and work and getting to experience their process and final work.
If you would like to see images of their process and final works check out my facebook album here.
Check back later to find out where we ended up putting the artwork that was given to WSU after the visit!
In addition to the Artist's the past few weeks have been very busy. Classes are going well as we go into mid semester. I am sure that I will be putting up images of students and their work soon. This semester is moving a bit to fast though. It seems like we just started and now we are already half way through! I know I feel this way almost every semester but it still seems to catch me off guard every time.
In my own work things are moving at a snails pace as per usual during the semester but I am keeping my hands in it a bit. I am still refining the wood sculpture I started a few months ago. I am in the sanding stage which always take a while. I am also finishing up a woven form that I started a month or so ago. Picture of that will be coming soon! If I get both done by Christmas I will be pretty pleased with myself:)
My youtube project hasn't really moved so much. I haven't done a new video in a while. Maybe once mid-semester is over I can get back to that. There just isn't enough time in the day to do everything that I wish I could do!
So that's the update for now. I hope you are all well, healthy, happy and enjoying life to the fullest!
