Kie Ellens
I just wanted to say I was very impressed with both of Kie Ellens talks, and out of the two I was more intrigued by the one at school on Tuesday. My time here at CU has been quite refreshing, my undergrad relentlessly pushed "gallery shows" and most of the students were so into just selling their work and it showed in the way they work. I felt like I've been struggling with the idea of making this object or thing but wanting to actually do something with it and reach an outsider audience. The examples Kie showed in his presentation were so inspiring and i know I sound like a huge dork but the 'felt ball' was bad ass and it just got me so excited about so many things I want to do and so many different ways I want to work. My studio visit with Kie was extremely helpful and some of his comments will stay with me for a long time, (maybe I'm so excited and intrigued because it such a big thing in his life and work and maybe its the 1st time I have really talked with someone about it).

Yes! I really enjoyed Kie's lecture at school and found him to extremely humble and knowledgable in my studio visit with him. And yes, the felt ball was fabulous! Thank you Richard for allowing us to interact with such a lovely human being and artist.
I also was impressed by the felt ball, and I have been wondering how much did the artist participate or did she just install the ball on the roof and things went from there?
