Reflection on Martin Puryear and Kendall Buster

Martin Puryear tries to mention one thing with another without being too direct or obvious. His work is fabulous.  I wanted to make a seat that didn’t look like a traditional seat; I wanted it to be unique. I wanted my chair to be comfortable and different but still look aesthetically pleasing. All of Puryear’s work is also filled with variety. Diversity makes the viewer stay interested and surprised. Likewise, another fantastic artist, Kendall Buster, earned a BFA degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington DC. She has a lot of her work in many different venues. Sculpting does not interest me that much but I love looking at sculptures and I took a sculpture class in high school and really enjoyed it. What I love Busters work is the material she uses for her sculptures. It is so intriguing and really catches my eye. Overall, both of these artists inspired me to want to create a unique seat unlike any one else’s. I loved learning about these artists and viewing all their work.
