The End!
I had an incredible time during my stay at the Banff Centre. I met other artists, I was able to work in my studio whenever I wanted (which meant I got a lot of work done!) and the usual making of meals and cleaning up of my living space was all taken care of. I must admit, the Banff Centre really makes it easy for artists to get work done, while allowing artists to network and make worldwide connections.
My final show was a successful and fun time. A lot of people were packing up and getting ready to go, but they still came out to check out the exhibition. Here are the photos:

One thing that was an unexpected happy accident was the shadows that were created on the floor when the work was lit from above. I found it to be an interesting perk to the work that I hadn’t noticed until it was brought to my attention at the opening reception. I’m happy with the way these works turned out, and I feel like I’ve resolved my need for complex patterns in the work itself. I kind of want to try these works out as an installation with painted walls and floor elements as well. It could be a challenging endeavor to make these sculptures hold their scale in a larger installation context.
