Artwork by Michael Vickery on display at Campus Center
鈥淧rogressions in Time and Space: Traditional and 3D-printed Media,鈥 a collection of artwork by Michael Vickery, will be on display at the 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 Biddeford Campus Center from December 3, 2013 to January 15, 2014.
Vickery is an adjunct professor in the Department of Arts and Communications at the 新香港六合彩资料. He is also the simulation and technology specialist for the University鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He has worked in a plethora of media, including photography, printmaking, oil and acrylic, pen and ink, airbrush, pencil, glass blowing, digital design, film, animation, and most recently 3D printing.
Aside from his 3D modeling and animation training, Vickery is predominantly self-taught, though he was guided and mentored throughout the years by his late uncle and noted artist, Paul Plumer of Hallowell.
鈥淚 find inspiration from a variety of sources,鈥 said Vickery. 鈥淪ometimes it鈥檚 just a beautiful natural setting. Other times it鈥檚 an urban scene. There is an uneasy diametric energy between the two. Also, directly or indirectly, some pieces speak to our estranged relationship with our natural world, our perilous commodification thereof, and the implications of our reliance on and faith in technology.鈥
Vickery was born in Maine and grew up on Frenchman鈥檚 Bay, where, as a young boy, he developed a strong relationship with the natural world. He began representing his ideas about nature in young adulthood through drawing, painting, and making.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. 新香港六合彩资料鈥檚 Campus Center is located at 11 Hills Beach Road, Biddeford, Maine. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For more information, email Diane Noble or contact her by phone (207) 284-6394.
