MAQUETTE CLOSEUP - desert landscape acrylic by Susan Roden

A hop, skip, jump away till I go to my residency at the Desert Dairy Farm!

So close, yet still a ways away.

I created a project for this very residency, which a slice of the maquette (model) is illustrated and to the right here. This will be a 3-sided public art sculpture that will top nearly seven feet at completion. It will be fabricated out of wood and installed on the grounds at the Desert Dairy Farm during the mid-February residency.

I've also started a Kickstarter project to enable the sculpture to come to fruition. This is an international platform that aids artists in budgeting projects. And I'm pleased to report in two weeks time the project is 86% funded, yet this is an all or none fund, i.e. all the budget has to be collected or the project is struck down. If any monies are collected above the budget amount, I will be donating at 100% to the Desert Dairy Farm to aid future residents.

Please read a detail description and video, as well as the donation page by clicking here.

Thank you for supporting the arts!
