... I'm posting this now. While I will be attending Final Friday tonight, I'm going to mention Jeff Schmuki. Awesome name, doncha think? Anywho, he came and spoke this last.. well, sometime this last week (is it just me, or did time really drag?). His work proved interesting; I mean, he used plants--specifically chia plants--as he main medium. But there was something about most, if not all, of his work that just felt like he wasn't pushing it far enough. I mean, he was pushing the concept of the chia just about as far as you could, but I don't feel that he really explored the combinations. Everything felt like he was running through a mansion and opening up all the doors, but never walking into the room. Still, that was just how I felt about his work. I did rather like his sculptures, though. They felt complete. I mean, they felt like a complete thought. I wish he could do more.

I remember the lecture and liked the work. He did make all this stuff on the road since katrina! Pretty amazing. Lets get him that mansion.
