For the lecture on Sept 21, the artist Candy Depew came to talk about her work, her apprenticing, and her style. I really enjoyed this speaker and her quirky presentation of just pictures of her work and then the little stories she had to go along with every picture. She is so accomplished as an artist, doing installations in big shows, creating a school, and also spending time in different areas exploring new means to her creativity. She creates such whimsical designs and it really changes the way a space may look. I also really was interested in hearing about her apprenticing of young artists, as well as taking on interns. She explained the difference of how interns may come and go but her apprentices (she has 2) are with her for life. I would definitely consider being her apprentice or intern, not only because of her amazing work but because it would be a great, opening opportunity. I wonder if more artists do that or if it is just a beginning thing with her. I am seriously going to look into it.
