Four artists are chosen from the studio at Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts annually for F.A.M.E. The artists work with a mentor and a studio instructor for 9 months.
I mentored Bill Crane. The artists and mentors exhibited their work at the Inside Out Gallery at the Interact Center for Visual and Performing Arts.
Some words about Bill and our mentorship work:
Bill likes people and interaction, discovery and experience, having a physical impact and expressing his strong visual sense. Working with these ideas we worked creatively together to build upon his visions. Bill likes sharing his artistic process and collaborating.
Bill experimented with many mediums and techniques. He manipulated and joined metal, broke tile and furthered his skills with hand and power tools. We created appropriate adaptive devices, techniques and tools for Bill to build and fabricate his ideas.
He translated some drawings and interest in sewing into wire sculpture. We explored volume, dimension and space while taking the 2-D lines off of the paper and expanding into a 3-D form. We furthered the experience with light projection through the wire figure onto the wall resulting in drawings of negative space and shadow.
The space is intended to invite interaction and reveal Bill's visual world; an artistic metaphor for his creative interaction with the world and artistic process.
