Today I went to the Museum of Art on the BYU campus and saw Walter Wicks expo. It was a great experience for me and I really enjoyed his work. Walter Wicks uses everyday items to create a scene and then takes a photo of his work to make it come alive. For example in one of his pieces he used salt and pepper shakers and a whisk and strainers to make a futuristic space station scene. The expo was laid out well and along the way you could see some of his photos taken out in nature as well. One of these photos was titled "Granbrook Park," it was a great photograph of a pond and some tress behind it. What was so neat was the top part of the photo was cut off but completed in the reflection that was in the pond. It took me a second to notice but it was great. I stood in awe with some of these wonderful photographs. One of the other things I really enjoyed was that they actually had some of the models he used and showed how a well placed camera angle can make his scene seem real. One example of this was a photo called "Sky High," it was an awesome photo of a futuristic city with flying cars and tall buildings. What was great was under the picture was the buildings themselves. They only stood maybe three feet high and were made of cardboard and everyday household items. It was neat to see the actual pieces in front of you then the completed photo on the wall. There was great detail in all his work. Walter actually has a whole line of eye spy books for kids. So in these scenes are well placed objects for kids to find while they enjoy his artwork too! This was a great expo to go to and I encourage both old and young to go and check it out. It is free!!! You will leave happy and want to go back for more.
