Liza Lou

i feel as though the past months are catching up to me. my body is a little sick but still pushing through. things are not slowing down anytime soon. life doesn’t slow down for anybody or anything – so adjust. be flexible. do not be stuck in a mold. abbie drue designs has a lot of new things in store. gearing up for more events, one in austin next week, a meeting with a new prospect on Friday, and oh, i’m turning 22 next tuesday! today, i found a burst of inspiration after watching a clip about Liza Lou. Liza is a brilliant artists and sculptor whose main materials are beads. i really would love to meet her and see her work live. her work is very detailed and intricate, and as a fellow beader myself, its not easy. just a little background: Liza grew up in NYC, born into a creative family as her mother was a writer and dad was an artist. she now lives between california and durban, south africa. here are some of her works. “stay with the making. stay with the doing. it is a privilege”
indeed. i think i’ll stay.

its not chanel

assignment: sculpture of a secret – abstract

required materials: wire, burlap, wood, and plaster

this went through a long process to build – from multiple form changes and color/texture changes. one day it was completely black – the next i spray painted it yellow. maybe it represented my mood that day.

what feelings does it evoke in you? or say? chaos/happiness/does it make you want pizza?

Handbag of Knocks, Hormones, Him, and Break-aways

<<<opinions are welcome. this is my first sculpture class>>>

food for thought

went to the Blaffer Art Museum on campus today during a break between classes and read this by Tony Feher – the artist of the exhibit.
“People are looking all the time, but I don’t think they’re seeing anything. And I think that’s not true just with a piece of art that’s in front of them, but in a larger cultural sense. Our lives are shrouded in myths and superstition and prejudice. If you can accept a soda bottle with condensation on the inside as a work of art, then maybe that’s a way of seeing a broader picture, or of seeing the world from a different point of view.”
