ASM International Exhibition

ASM International, an organization for materials scientists and engineers working with metals, teamed with Kent State to produce a student art exhibition on display throughout the halls and conference rooms of their world headquarters in Materials Park, Ohio. I was happy to find out that my work had been selected for the show, which will be on display until December 2013. All of the selected works can be viewed on their website: http://www.asminternational.org/portal/site/www/about-asm/ksu/

At their beautiful campus, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and much more than an office building, one can't help but be inspired. The surrounding treetops and gardens pour in through giant walls of windows, becoming part of the contemporary, open-concept work environment with the perfect touch of mid-century pizzazz. The enormous latticework geodesic dome sits gracefully over top the building and mineral gardens, an iconic work of art that vibrates throughout the interior space. I hope that my casual snapshots have captured a bit of the experience, and I already have some great ideas for installation work that I plan to propose by the end of the summer. They are very open to bringing art into their space, something I believe many businesses would be wise to practice, as it makes for a creative, positive and inspirational work environment for all employees.
