Innovations Gallery: David Mazure

I learned so much by listening to artist David Mazure last night for only a short time. His use of inspiration in the sciences really interested me and I felt it was very unique. The piece that he created for his friends was unlike anything that I would feel comfortable doing for one of my friends. Taking pictures of his two friends embracing on a bed wearing minimal clothes is an uncomfortable experience to be involved in. I realized after his presentation that this is one of the sacrifices that an artist has to make in order to complete a successful process and a final piece. It was also a rewarding experience for me to hear David Mazure explain that even after 100 hours of hard work and trials he still created a failed project. By hearing this story it comforted me to realize that not everything works out the way that you want it to but nothing goes wasted. Overall David Mazure was an interesting artist to listen to. "Dynamic Mapping" his made up word for tracing body movement, was a cool way to create his own style of artwork. The fact that he made up his own word shows his style as an artist as well. He is carefree in all of his ideas but continues a straightforward process with each of his pieces. This artist talk really inspired me to continue a hardworking process for all of my projects for the rest of my career as a Designer.
