[00:00:01.080]I would say students here are very, very dedicated.
[00:00:04.063](bright music)
[00:00:07.200]Making Ceramics has allowed me to create
[00:00:08.820]like, weird, unique things, like, here I'll show you.
[00:00:11.820]This is, like, this, like, weird wall hanging thing I made.
[00:00:14.190]Like, I don't know, I've never seen one of these before.
[00:00:16.164](bright music)
[00:00:20.415]I will show you a piece I just did this morning.
[00:00:22.830]It's this, like, kind of tree blossom
[00:00:25.860]that was in my backyard when I was growing up.
[00:00:29.460]I love the versatility of ceramics.
[00:00:32.460]I love being able to actually use an object that I've made.
[00:00:36.540]Like, I have pieces of my pottery in my apartment
[00:00:40.080]and I use them every day.
[00:00:42.810]My Capstone show is kind of about my family and growing up.
[00:00:46.740]I'm a very materialistic person
[00:00:49.170]and I connect memories and nostalgia with objects,
[00:00:53.070]and so being able to create those sorts of objects,
[00:00:56.100]and put my own memories into them
[00:00:58.320]has been kind of a good synthesis.
[00:01:02.868]Throughout your classes at UNL
[00:01:05.700]and throughout your time here,
[00:01:07.680]you'll kind of like gain experience of what it's like
[00:01:11.610]to be a working artist.
[00:01:13.170]The school of art and art history and design
[00:01:14.880]works really hard to bring in a lot of visiting artists.
[00:01:18.360]Dana Clements just bought the Noyes Art Gallery.
[00:01:22.440]It's on 9th and O, and Dana and I met in a class,
[00:01:25.950]and she asked me to show my work at the gallery,
[00:01:29.340]and that was the first time I'd had work in a gallery
[00:01:32.310]and it was such an amazing experience.
[00:01:34.230]And now I know a gallery owner,
[00:01:36.210]'cause I went to class at UNL, so that's crazy.
[00:01:39.780]All these things have kind of been brought to light
[00:01:42.840]through my experience at UNL.
