1. Bryan Czibesz is a ceramist focusing on 3D printing with clay. He is an object maker asking questions of “authorship and authenticity” throughout his making process. Bryan’s process focuses on clay 3D printers that he built. He designs his objects in 3D modeling programs, transferring the files onto a USB, which he is able to plug into the printer to print his objects. 3D printing with clay is different from 3D printing with plastic, because the clay does not instantly dry. It takes time to dry, so the moisture content is key in the process. I was drawn to Bryan’s work, because clay is such a unique material, and Bryan really pushes the boundaries within it.

 

  1. Zimoun is a unique artist who creates architectural platforms of sound. Not only is this a new and different form of art making, his installations are very beautiful. There is something very moving about an art installation that fills a room. I am most drawn to his installation works because they are so vast. The sound paired with the large installations is actually a bit overwhelming, but unique because gallery spaces are generally very quiet.

 

  1. Deborah Aschheim is an artist who creates all different types of work including light sculptures, sound sculptures, and drawings. Her drawings are lovely, but her sound sculptures are very unique. I was immediately drawn to “Earworm (node)” because the sculpture is visually pleasing and continuously leads the eye around. The sculpture has musicians singing the word “node” as the sound and is made from LED’s, plastic and copper tubing. I was drawn to her work because it is quite different than traditional artwork.
