Welcome to the Rice Gallery! This is one of the awesome places that I get to work. The gallery is an installation space and therefore it gets a new work every semester. I think this installation is beautiful in its simplicity, but it also has a bunch of small complexities that fascinate me. My goal for the semester is trying to master this piece of art from sketching. When there is no one in the gallery I try to sketch this intricate form, but it's deceivingly difficult. My favorite part about working here is talking to people about art, and particularly this piece. I love to ask people's first impressions and you get everything from 'blah' to 'what a complex interaction of planes and light.' I love the way that people light up when they finally understand the artist's intention for this space after we have had a conversation. I think art is an incredible way to not only connect to people but also reach out, and I think that I am so lucky to have this chance.

I really like it. It is definitely interesting and I wish I could see it from all angles. I have stared at your picture for minutes trying to grasp the whole concept!
