the work i had at the conference. this school bus yellow pedestal i built was meant to hold three heads, but, being the occasional master of disaster, i rushed and exploded it instead. all in all, felt ok with what i had.
couple of examples of lovely tumblers from students. unfortunately cannot remember what schools, as i lost my notes in travel... oops. especially love the detail on the bottom of the cityscape tumblers, and the mirrored shelf. so nice.
this is the work of a student named jonathan huang. his skill with facial expressions and musculature is inspiring. he recommended the videos of forensic artist phillipe farout for reference. will be a future investment. great stuff!
i had never heard of clayton thiel before ccaca, but, frankly, i lost my shit when i walked onto the roof of the natsoulas gallery to find about 10 of these enormous narrative heads. there's a great video on his website that shows his process for these. this remains the highlight of the conference for me. 100% pure love.
altough i forget artist's names chronically, i have babbled to anyone who will listen about the "teeth woman" for over a year now. in fact, esther shimazu is the reason i decided to carve teeth and implant them for my moche vessels. her work is smaller than i expected, maybe @9"-a foot. no less amazing for that. it was inspiring and exciting to finally see these beautiful figures in person!
