Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Gain knowledge of papermaking fibers resulting in a new body of work. Expand my studio to include papermaking equipment. Outcomes will be evaluated by the merit of the new work based on gained knowledge of paper fibers. It will also be evaluated based on my ability to continue producing new work using learned techniques and purchased equipment. 2: Broadcast my work to more Minnesotans, and engage in critical dialogue of the work with the creative community. Outcomes will be evaluated by the public response to the exhibition. It will also be evaluated by the critical feedback provided by local professionals, media, and curators.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audet learned new skills and techniques for working with kozo, built equipment to aid in production of work, and created an innovative body of artwork using these new skills and tools. 2: Minnesotans were exposed to Audet's work through the exhibition opening. Critical dialogue and networking in the creative community aided to this exposure.
