David Mazure

I really enjoyed David Mazure's gallery presentation. I found his techniques and his style very unique. He talked a lot about the process of art, rather than just art itself, which I liked a lot because people forget how important the process really is. Like Mazure said "there is evidence of the process in your final work." My favorite part of the lecture was when he explained the process of the piece he is currently working on now called the Transmeanderation Helix. I thought it was really cool how he photographed his friends embracing eachother and then in photoshop, clipped out certain sections that were visually interesting and created his own abstract shapes. It makes me think about how I could incorporate something like this into my own work. I really like the idea of using figure forms to create an organic shape. His advice to "always hold on to your process" was very inspiring as well. It's always really cool to hear about other artist's experiences and techniques because there are so many ways to create something that is visually pleasing.
