Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The project is a series of three large scaled mixed media sculptures that investigate the subject of home through the lens of a high-speed video camera. Completion of a series of three large scaled sculptures about home, successfully utilizing high-speed photography to produce the work, and documentation of the finished pieces. 2: My work will be shared with the local community and larger metropolitan public through open studio event, question and answer session and exhibition. Success will be evaluated in community feedback about the work at the open studio event, open dialogue about home in Minnesota at the Q and A session, and attendance count at the exhibition.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The project is a series of three large wall works that investigate the subject of home through the lens of a high-speed video camera. I completed three large-scale wall works. Some of the sculptural elements were considered irrelevant and distracting to the overall concept and remove project. 2: My work will be shared with the local community and larger metropolitan public through open studio event, question and answer session and exhibition. After the first event I had in my studio/ Gallery I determined it necessary to send invitations directly to people in order to make them feel welcomed.
