Today I went to Ariel Bowmen’s artist lecture and it was very well done. She talked with so much passion about her work and her artistic career that I hope I can talk about my work with that much passion one day. When I first walked through the gallery and saw her work, I thought that the animals she sculpted were made up and from her own imagination. I never would have thought that all of the animals represented were alive at some point. At one point in her lecture she spoke about why she chose to sculpt prehistoric mammals. Her response was that the prehistoric mammals are not represented very well and that most people don’t know that there are so many different types. I would have never guessed that each elephant in the gallery was alive at some point and that they were each alive at different time periods throughout the Earth’s history. Her dedication and attention to detail is inspirational and I am very envious of it. She puts so much of herself into her work and it is clearly visible to anyone who looks at it. I am happy that I went to her lecture and got to hear her speak, because it makes me appreciate her artwork even more now after knowing the amount of work that she puts into each and every piece that she shows.
