Nick Cave- the visual artist not the one with the Bad Seeds- is known for creating these highly imaginative and brightly colored sound suits. They are simply amazing! He presents them in gallery shows as still fabric sculptures but also takes them to the next level through live performance, video, and action photos. His love of found objects in his work is attributed to his childhood central Missouri. So many parallels can be drawn from his work to mine. His affinity for performance, his use of costume, and bright color are all factors found in my most recent piece and others in the past.
I am an aspiring artist and crafts person from Greater Cincinnati currently attending the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland majoring in Fiber Arts. Among other things I am also a writer, a dreamer, an optimist, and above all an Enthusiast! For it is through learning that we may become teachers and through teaching that we learn all the lessons we've missed.
