Lead Pencil Studio Lecture

     The couple that call themselves Lead Pencil Studio comes from an architectural education. The fact that the pair are architects make it interesting that they create these installations and pieces of art. It's interesting how the features of buildings and space influence the pair's creations, and I think that if the two weren't architects this work would not be the same. The pieces Lead Pencil Studio showed in their lecture contained many welded straight fragments of wire that were really interesting in both shape and how they created value and density. I think we can all agree that the billboard-inspired piece set up near one of the United States borders is just absolutely stunning. The environment and especially the sky change the piece and give it a setting. But the piece also shows us that we all focus on advertising and materials rather than the natural beauty that is always around us.
