Patterson  scout breathing

Scout Patterson - "Breathing"

This sculpture is made out of pieces of radiators, pieces of cut colored fenders, one coil spring and multiple exhaust pipes. The right side of the piece made of exhaust pipes is completely welded together and structurally sound. The left side of the piece made of the fenders and radiator pieces is welded together where the fenders touch the coil spring in the middle but the radiator pieces are wired in. 

The spread of coronavirus has greatly impacted my art practice. Prior to covid I was able to access my schools facilities whenever but now my time in the studio is significantly cut down. Using the facilities on campus is difficult because the hours don't always fit into my schedule. In addition there is always this sense of uncertainty when trying to complete projects because campus has a tendency to shut down unexpectedly. While creating this piece there was a point in time I was unsure I would be able to finish it as campus shut down for two weeks. The uncertainty of when I'll be able to create has made me greatly appreciate the times when I can.
