Foot In The Door | Picture Link
Phase one of Foot In The Door is over and phase two has started. All this week MIA and MAEP staff along with many volunteers have helped piece the show together. They have been busy hanging the show, taking pictures of each piece, and entering a lot of data. At the end of the day last Sunday there were more than 4000 pieces of artwork that were entered into the show. It has been exciting looking at pictures of the show being installed in the galleries and seeing all of the hard work that goes into it. I will post some of these pictures later.
I am so EXCITED for the opening reception! It is only a week away. I can’t wait to see all of the artwork on the walls, meet some of the other artists, and see Lucy Michelle and The Velvet Lapels, the band that will be playing opening night.
Foot In The Door has been getting a great deal of media buzz over the last few weeks and here is another link to an article.

ARTIST | MARTIN NELSON
I am a mixed media and sculptural artist working with a variety of materials between my two mediums. I use acrylic, graphite, printing ink and techniques, and found materials, including a mixture of different images in a collage type of manor on both paper and canvas. My sculptural work uses mainly clay and found materials, which consist of both natural and man made objects. My artwork has an abstract quality, with distinguishable layers of reality, emotion, and obscurity mixed throughout. I am interested in topics relating to history and current events, science, culture, and the environment. My artwork tries to analyze these topics both within their own states as well as through the relationship that human nature plays while interacting with each one. I enjoy the process of collecting, discovering, and creating through the ideas and various imagery that surrounds me, and I hope that my artwork comes across as interesting, challenging, and thought provoking in the end.
