What are you doing this summer? Medici recipient Trent Pechon shares plans for his creative practice:
.
"My projects involve transforming objects and moments of everyday life into something new and strange. I do this through slow and careful craftsmanship and meticulous presentation. I’m interested in how objects can communicate in ways that words cannot. Ultimately, I’m interested in the way humor can help people feel and see the bittersweetness of life.
.
"I am raising questions about the processes of making art by granting the raw material agency over the finished frame. I am creating a humorous tension between the juxtaposition of the raw branch and the finished frame, questioning when the art ends and begins. I am using the frame as a portal from the outside world into the world of art."

The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university’s core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the people, culture and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be proactive in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.
