| Christopher Gowell, Iguana Birdbath |
I was excited to hear Christopher Gowell speak about her work because she has a couple pieces of sculpture in the show at the Museum of Art that I enjoyed. I like the organic influence in her set of figures she created as a sort of garden series; I think she was beautifully able to meld the human form with different natural elements such as plants and animals.
However, her talk was not very effective in giving any background information as to her influences and why she does what she does. Mostly, she just ran through a bunch of pictures on her website and said little about each of them, except for one or two when she mentioned a brief personal back story. It was nice to hear about her school and foundry that she has created from an old church, but it was somewhat distracting that she did not seem to know how to run her own website and where things were on the page. I can understand not being technologically savvy, but it did not seem as if she really prepared much at all for the talk which was kind of disappointing.
