I met with Joseph Ralston and his work was inspired by South African culture. He creates metal and glass sculptures revolving around the South African culture where he is from.
At Gallery MKE, I met with Sally Davidson. Her art is very unique in the sense that she takes an idea and a value of one person and creates a piece of jewlery based on that person's values, emotions, and the way they behave.
Sally Duback's studio was probably the most interesting to me. I had a discussion on the mediums she uses in most of her art. Sally actually creates paper to give her pieces more of an authentic look.I told Sally that I was interested in making paper to incorporate into my self portrait. A button to her website is down below where you can see more of her work. She gave me the advice of how to create paper, not from scratch, but from half stuff which is bascially like the halway point of the handmade paper-making process.
During our Miad final exam, I visited Paige Lemley as she explained her project of interior and industrial design. She explained to me the programs she used and how to get into the industry and how to start planning now, she described why she chose the materials she chose as well as the location.
