In this week's foundation lecture ceramist and printmaker Candy Depew spoke about her work and life as an artist. Alough looking at her life and work we may call her an artist, she sees herself as a designer. What was intersting about this week's lecture (in comparison so far to previous guests) was that she spoke personally about and displayed images of her work rather than giving us Tyler students a speech on some form of art history. I enjoyed that Depew talked about what her work means and how she makes objects inresponse to environments, such as the symbolism of her repeated tears, diamonds, hearts, and blood drippings throughout her pieces. I also liked that she said she liked to mix "historical with contemporary" in her work. Overall, I was pleased with the lecture and found it inspiring that she had even started her own art school.
