"ONE PER DAY: A YEAR OF SMALL DECISIONS" |
|
|
Image by Angel Brame The goal of the project was to encourage a small and disciplined amount of creativity every day, make decisions regarding shape, form, function, and aesthetics on an unusually small scale, and to explore the effects the project had on the artist’s traditional body of work. It too was to reflect the progression of skill from day one to day 365. All 365 pieces of work are displayed at once, a year’s worth of challenge, dedication, discipline, and creativity. Pieces are available for purchase and priced $40-$200. Exhibition // June 6 - July 1, 2018 Closing Reception // June 30, 2018 // 5-7pm Gallery Talk // June 30, 2018 // 2-3pm |
