Julie Chen: A new look at art

Julie Chen's "Octopus"

I was talking to some art professors yesterday about my dilemma- I'm interested in too many mediums.  As an honors major next year during my last year at Swarthmore, I'll have to focus on reaching some sort of depth rather than trying everything (as I've been doing).  I've always loved 3D, 2D and everything in between. But what if I found a medium that combined it all? My ceramics professor, Syd Carpenter, suggested I look at Julie Chen's book art.  It's illustration, printmaking, sculptural, sewing, painting all at once! How mind blowing is that? I was intrigued. 

Still grappling with what I'll end up doing but at least I have next semester and the summer to contemplate.
