Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
I will use the grant period and funds to initiate research and development in technical skills and materials surrounding resin. I will create a new body of work that is more sculptural in nature and stretches the previous physical boundaries. I will have examples of failed experiments. I will also have resin samples from a UV test lab to indicate resin stability over time. 2: I will acquire the equipment and knowledge to professionally document my artwork and process. I will purchase a new camera and will be trained how to use it. I will have very good photographic documentation of my work. My website will continually be refreshed with new art images.
