The welcome back show

We were asked to talk about the pieces at the "welcome back show". when i first go into the gallery, i made a right like i always did, i saw a black standing sculpture in the middle of the room and that catches my eyes. this sculpture is by

Travis Coatney

Glory Days

wood, steel, polyester resin, graphite

This is made by Travis, one of the sculpture instructor from LAB. I like his piece because the it give me different feel from different angle. it feels heavier in some angle while it looks like it is falling on the other angle. i really like how he show his piece, too. i love how he made a specific pedestal out of steel and makes the pedestal part of the piece.  

The other piece that i choose which i think is a little bit confuse is by

I love the painting. However, without the title, i feel a little bit lose about what are these all about and are they suppose to put together or they are individual pieces. With the small size of the paintings, i would like to see more of these and see how they work together.
