Visiting Artist

For an out of class assignment we had to go see visiting artists Steven and Ana Fink. I actually found both of their work extremely interesting. First, I thought Ana's work was very interesting because almost all of her pieces were related to the others in some way, whether it be with the hexagonal pattern that she used repeatedly or with actual physical elements such as the seeds and things that she made. I liked how much her artwork related to the physical world, and our relationship as humans to the earth and nature.
Steven's work on the other hand was way more spiritual in citing the relationships between humans and the world we live in. I liked his artwork more because he seemed to care way less about what his audiences thought of his work. Especially in the installations he made out in the woods on their property, I appreciated it more because he went to all the work and put so much effort into these things that will rarely be seen by any mass group of viewers, which is something that I think is really important in art - making it just to make it and not just for the critical acclaim that may come with it.
