Artists' Point of View

Materializing New Space by Kelly Urquhart and Jaime Kennedy was very powerful.  The art itself really had its own voice and was detailed and colorful, but it was the way Kelly and Jaime were able to collaborate their different styles and mediums of work to come up with such fantastic pieces that impressed me.  I loved how they brought her drawing and his photography into one and then added a sculpted piece to the mix.

The pieces that stood out to me the most were, of course, the Avian Flying Apparatuses.  By of course, I mean the great attention to detail, especially when the work isn't real.  I could never imagine spending so much time on something like these pieces, and by that, I have gained so much respect to the artists, not just Kelly and Jaime, but to every artist.  

With Materializing New Space, I could not really say if my interpretation differed from both Kelly and Jaime's because they were able to explain it to us first hand what the meaning of each piece was.  I actually enjoyed this because it was my first time actually getting an artist's point of view on their own work and what they really wanted to come out in every piece.
