Bella 40 Years of Sculpture Lecture

One of the things Bella said during the lecture, really struck me: "Art has to be like an addiction...like dope." I loved that she came to share her experiences. I can even relate to how she said she hates working in "isolation at home" because that's when you just keep doing what you've always done. When you work alone, you don't learn anything, and all the pieces you create end up looking the same as the ones before. Of all the series that she showed us, my favorite is probably the green flask. It's stuff like that, that remind me of happy accidents. It's not intended, but it doesn't hinder the work at all. In fact, I think the green pigment in the flask actually helped the piece.
