Stopped by the grounds for sculpture yesterday to check out the 2006 outstanding sculpture student thingamajigger, and saw some good stuff!

My face was the kitsch suburban living room erupting into forest animals by Carolyn Hopkins, and Vincent Donarski‘s enormous drawing machine appealed to my self-destroying useless machine sensibilities as well. Shelly adored Crystal Schenk‘s stained glass shopping cart, and one RISD student (Eamon Brown) was represented.

Carolyn Hopkins, Wildlife Series

Vincent Donarski, Drawing Tool #4

Crystal Schenk, Have And Have Not

Eamon Brown, Victoria.

Note to self: students’ artist statements are generally annoying and cloying and sticky: keep it simple and descriptive; leave the theory and concept up to the viewer; let the viewer decide what it means
