I watched the RVArt Talk with Richmond, VA sculptor Paul DiPasquale. Watching this interview was very impactful and I feel that I learned a lot that I can apply to my own artmaking process. DiPasquale talks about how his sculptures are all made to show a specific concept. One thing that I thought was really interesting was his use of the concept of transformation, which is my current theme for my work. He showed the transformation of the surface he was working on, the ceiling, as he changed it from a normal ceiling to a water surface by adding ducks. As I have been trying to figure out how to make the broad idea of transformation into a more specific narrative, this example of some of the ways it can be applied was really inspiring. Another thing that I found to be really impactful was the idea of being a “messenger” through artmaking. DiPasquale talked about how, through his sculptures, he was able to take on the role of a messenger who conveys people’s stories to the world when they might otherwise be largely ignored. It was also interesting to hear about how he approaches the composition of his sculptures. He mentioned that all of his work is half of the subject, because that’s all he needs to get his message across.
