Artist Fellowship

The goal for this project is based on paddling on Lake Superior for 7 to 8 weeks in June, July and August during the summer of 2016 with the goal to produce journal entries, sketches, and photographs as inspiration for a body of work based on that trip. The measurable outcome will consist of at least four furniture pieces and ten framed photographs. Additionally the quantity of journal entries, sketches, and photographs will reflect the additional goal of creating a collection of materials to go to in the future for inspiration. Outcomes will be measured by the number and quality of the pieces produced. It is not only important to produce some number of pieces but that those pieces are of a high quality. Initially evaluation will be by ongoing feedback. I participate in a network of other furniture makers who provide feedback about ongoing ideas and projects and I am a member in a photo club where discussion about photographs is an integral part of the club activities. To evaluate the success of the work I will look at the number of pieces produced and seek peer review as to the quality of the work.
