The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Adam Ewing
I had the opportunity, through a client connection, to follow a team at Bonneville’s Speed Week. Each year, hundreds of speed freaks bring their machines to Bonneville with the goal of setting a land speed record in dozens of classes from vintage motorcycles to futuristic rockets on wheels.
The legendary Bonneville Salt Flats, with its expansive vista that stretches 12 miles long and five miles wide, has been likened to the surface of the moon. In this series, I sought to capture the dizzying speed of the man-made machines, being tested on a surreal landscape.
