Bio
Hey I'm Chelsea, I'm 20-years-old, from Helena, MT. I graduated from Helena High in '08. During my year off after HS I worked for the state doing Road Inventory and Mapping. Now I attened the Art Institute of Seattle, getting my Bachelors in Fashion Marketing and Management. I'd love to run and put together a fashion show someday. I'd also maybe like to have my own line of shoes and bags. If non of that works out for me, along with the Art Institute, I'd like to go to a school in Spokane to learn massage therapy.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The sculpture that I choose, that I didn't like, was the Wake by Richard Serra, 2004. The reason I did not like this piece when I came across it was because it was WAY to big, I kind of found it meaningless, I didn't see the point in creating something so big like that, and I dislike the color of it. But the more I looked at it the more I became fond of it, and I don't know why. When I look at it now for some reason I think of killer whales, probably because it reminds me of the waves in the ocean. When I read about it I didn't like how they described it, "He uses material and scale to alter perception and to engage the body, encouraging consciousness of our relation to space", I think it engages the body, encouraging consciousness of our relation to water, not space. I don't get where it would relate to space with the way the sculpture moves, but that's just me. I think once I got over the fact of the color and how big it was I loved it. If it were in tiny sculptures that I were able to keep at my place I would definetly have it as a decoration, but in black or in that color but spunged with a dark brown over it to give it a different look.
