David Mazure

I really enjoyed this gallery talk. It was a unique and interesting look into another artist's creative process. Usually we only get to see the finished product, and don't get to fully appreciate the complete depth of the work. I found Mazure's work interesting when I initially saw it in the gallery, but after hearing more about it I find it even more meaningful. Seeing the stages that the work went through was fascinating. I was surprised to see that the piece hanging in the gallery began as a series of sketched figure drawings. They underwent enormous changes and eventually worked their way into a dynamic line drawing. The artistic process is incredibly important and I really liked seeing the finished work after getting a glimpse of what changes went into it along the way.
