Yuma 2011: The Southwest Symposium experience

[Michael Dale Bernard]

32nd Annual Yuma Arts Symposium

February 24-26, 2011, Yuma, AZ

 

"The Yuma Symposium is comfort food for hungry artists."  I presented a lecture Urban Image Metalsmithing: coded and coated graphics, that covered the inspiration that I draw from the graffiti and marketing graphics coated, LA landscape. I will related my visual works to a lineage of metalsmiths working in the graphic narrative.  I also reveal some of my powder coating techniques during a demonstration of the process.

I really liked that you managed to master the transition from metal smithing to sex cams. Not everybody could have done that.
