Professor O'Brien is an interesting instructor. I did not like her very much at first since she wasn't clear at all with any instructions. But in the end, that's what made me like her more. I took her for 2D, which is required, but I would definitely take her again for sculpture. She is very knowledgeable in her subject and it shows. She strives for the best.

Putting Lipstick on a Sculpture
Putting Lipstick on a Sculpture is a mixed body of sculptural and two-dimensional work investigating our society’s superficial expectations of beauty. The glitzy covers of glitter and spandex are used over more traditional structural materials to confuse the viewer’s expectations
much like labels categorizing usual fine art. The sculptures are on display for the audience’s aesthetic judgments
while paintings blur lines of what is classified as traditional and acceptable for emphasis.
