4th Annual Intercollegiate Metals Exhibition

The 4th Annual Intercollegiate Metals Exhibition this year was a great success! We received 84 pieces from 7 universities and it was an awesome display of what is going on in metals programs across the country. We had a great turnout at the opening and the show looked great. Check out my facebook album of images from the show.
I got to design the catalog again this year and it is pretty much finished...just in the final stages of editing and should be available on blurb before the end of the week. Here is a sneak peak at the cover and first page. Ill let you know when you can get your hands on one!Here are some quick peeks at the installation.I love doing this every year with the metals family here at ASU! Here we all are at the opening, (from left) Erik Bogner, Tedd McDonah, Becky McDonah, Samuel Troxell, Amanda Frazier, Katie Poterala, Lynette Andreasen. Good times!

Collection

I'll do a full post on the Intercollegiate Metals Exhibition soon (it is an AWESOME show!!) but for now just wanted to quickly post some images of the piece I submitted to the show this year.

"Collection"

found silver spoons, silk thread, pearls

I had originally made that necklace I posted about a few days ago for the show, but after installation we decided we needed to fill more wall space so I had to finish this piece up. I think it needs about 50 more spoons:)

I am still working this piece out in my mind, but it makes reference to family collections, antique spoon collections, heirlooms, domestic objects passed from generation to generation etc. If you have any thoughts, critiques, commentary or criticism it is welcome.

Thanks for looking.
