It was rewarding spending time listening to your thoughts and artist process at SUNY New Paltz today. Stay inspired in your studio Hannah.

I study anatomy and the organs are just weird floppy things that work together to keep us alive. Functional things are not neat
yet we obsess over symmetry in a very flawed way.

[@ayodeledavid3034]

True it’s the same thing you can say about life in general, it’s is not linear it’s a set of loosely unorchestrated shapes joint together but so much of us as human expect it to be perfect

[@Chron_Dawg78]

Cool, strange work

Smart art. Articulate. But please be aware of you tendency to use "uprising" at the end of each sentence. It makes you sound unsure of yourself.
