Well, it has been almost a year since I started this project and tonight marks its debut.
For those who need a bit of a refresher, it all began when I started weaving the vinyl tubing into the loom. From there I just made each decision as they presented themselves - no big plan or end goal. Towards the end of the project a friend of mine was in the process of submitting a proposal for a gallery show at the new student gallery in the RISD museum (wow, that is a lot of prepositional phrases in one sentence) and he thought this piece would work with the theme (see below).
The proposal was accepted and the show officially opened this evening. This was my first gallery show and it was an honor to be included. There were quite a few interesting pieces alongside my own.
One artist commissioned three Chinese oil-painting companies to paint the same piece for him and the resulting work was hung together along with their respective prices. Another created a structure of pine 2x4s and drywall and then physically hurled his body through the drywall like a human cannonball. Anything in the name of art, right!
