I must admit that my knowledge in and of the 3D arts is very sub-par. While there are a lot of interesting pieces within a three-dimensional plain thrown about, I hadn't really found one whose work as a whole really stood out to be. Perhaps it was because I hadn't really searched for it, but when entering this class, we were quickly introduced to Tom Friedman, and I was quite enamored with his work. Through his meticulous and repetative folding, bending, cutting or binding of objects, he has created attractive pieces both conceptual and figurative.
I find his patience for working with all the differing mediums impressive, to put simply. Paper, wood, aluminum foil and hair just to name but a few. I find it rather inspiring to simply look at his work and wonder at how many hours he spent slowly putting together things such as the toothpick starburst. His understanding of the various items he chooses to use never ceases to impress me, and has led me into wanting to learn a bit more about artists who off operate off flat dimensions.
