I really enjoyed listening and learning about the perspectives of different artists as they embark on their journeys of creating their pieces. Each artist has their own unique outlook, and one I found particularly interesting was Nick Cave’s. He described how his personal experiences as an African American shaped his process of making art. Rather than lashing out at others when being racially profiled, he talked about using that rage and targeting it towards creating his pieces. Much of them are very colorful, bright, and tall, although they come from a dark place from Cave’s perspective. This contrast and his ability to fuel and motivate himself using the rage he felt is something I found very inspiring. Doreen Garner’s work and experiences also really caught my attention. She brings up concepts of what black people have been through in the past, and the ways in which they have been misrepresented. Therefore, her art looked quite violent or distorted at times, but was a big part of her process of battling racial dynamics and premade assumptions.

Talismans Main Idea – Angela Ziganshina
Something I profoundly want is to have a career where I’m able to help people, but have freedom for myself. I really enjoy working with others, but I don’t like being tied down to one thing. This is important to me because as much as I believe it’s vital to be a considerate and unselfish person in life, I also believe it’s just as critical to not lose sight of yourself in the process. This is an obstacle I’m aware of because I think it is in fact easy to lose yourself, especially with outside influencing factors such as salary and reputation. I don’t know exactly what I want to do or the exact job I want to have, but what I do know is I want to be successful without ever having to settle for something or giving up my own goals or dreams. This particular aspect of my desire is something I’d like to highlight in the design of my talisman. This may be physically represented in sculptural form by creating many different forms/sculptures to show all the different aspects of my life. 10 key words that can be used to sum this up are: freedom, success, health, business, confidence, people, unity, leadership, creativity, decisions.
