Dan Webb Lecture
On Thursday the 20th of September, Dan Webb a Cornish College of the Arts Alumni and successful sculpture, presented his works and explained the challenges that he has had to face while in his creative process. In the lecture, Webb explained that failure is a part of the artist experience that one endures during the process when working on a piece. Sometimes the elements of the material hamper the flow and one has to work around it. At times it is inevitable and cannot be avoided. You cannot always control the art work you are creating but you can control the way you handle the challenges that arise. Webb admits that there have been art works he has not been able to save, disappointing as it may be, but he has been able to learn from his mistakes.
Dan Webb is a master wood carver and his pieces are extremely intricate in detail and massive in size. The final pieces appear so precise and lifelike. He has a talent to take a piece of wood and have it appear as smooth as fabric. It’s absolutely amazing.
