- [00:00:00.833]I just like making stuff.
- [00:00:07.708]I like to use my hands.
- [00:00:08.875]I did ten years of concrete construction before coming to school, and
- [00:00:13.125]I really enjoyed a lot of aspects of that, like working with my hands, building
- [00:00:17.083]something at the end of the day,
- [00:00:18.208]having like a finished product or something that I made.
- [00:00:21.166]And I think that translates well to art making.
- [00:00:24.416]In some ways,
- [00:00:24.958]like this,
- [00:00:25.375]this feels a lot like drawing, just like very intuitive, like call and response,
- [00:00:29.375]So if I was going to start drawing,
- [00:00:30.583]usually what I'll do is just start making some marks.
- [00:00:33.541]Right.
- [00:00:34.125]This feels so much like, like this to me, where I just start and pick a shape
- [00:00:38.333]and just start building off of that shape.
- [00:00:42.541]Everything and more is here for sculptural work, metalworking, woodworking.
- [00:00:48.041]It's wonderful facilities.
- [00:00:49.458]Like I said, there's not much else I could ask for here.
- [00:00:54.875]These have gone off and been shown in like galleries and
- [00:00:58.416]they've sold
- [00:00:59.291]and they live in people's outdoor spaces and indoor spaces.
- [00:01:02.583]So that's wonderful,
- [00:01:04.666]This is an opportunity to take my art practice more seriously.
- [00:01:09.000]Right.
- [00:01:09.333]And like not only that but at the same time, get a degree while I'm doing that.
