Materializing New Space

Separately their pieces were wonderful but together they are amazing.  They are not only combining both Jamie and Kelly’s skills but their ideas and separate worlds.  From Kelly’s side we saw her creativity through her paintings and drawings, the fantasy and unreal world she imagines that is so wonderful.  And from Jamie’s side, we have his life like and real designs, like for the mechanical bird wings. Combining the two is just a taste of what everyone wants in life, a little bit of real and a little bit fantasy.  When the two ideas are together they create a perfect world. 

            The brick pieces that involved stock show us how reality is a huge impact on art.  I loved how they used their real stock and made it into such great works of art. 

            My favorite pieces were the bird nests.  Not only did they make a three-dimensional piece and worked it in with the ending result which was a two-dimensional piece but to make it they used left over parts to their old project.  This brings up recycling materials, another big part of our world today and just another way they were able to tie in our world to the world they have created through their art. 

            I was glad I was able to see their show and what made it even better was being able to hear their lecture.  Listening to were it all started and were their work and ideas were coming from made their art much more enjoyable to look at.
