Lecture 10

This week our presented was Doug Bucci.  He was a great speaker and definitely kept my attention the entire hour.  He was very charismatic and excited to be talking about his work and life.  He continued to tell us to take chances.  He started experimenting with jewelry while he was at school and decided to push his interest further.  He started making jewelry and became highly praised and recognized.  He worked on a medallion for Prince Andrew, he worked for Jackass, and then he went on to work with Jeff Koons and Stella McCartney on their collaboration.   He told us to think about who we want to associate ourselves with when we get jobs.  Where and with whom can we have fun with or Who do we want to meet?  These were things that he considered and considers before he accepts a job.  As his career went on he started becoming interested in studying diabetes because he has it.  He started studying what diabetes is and what it affects.  Then he used that information to make jewelry out of it.  His work looks like little blood cells that are formed together to create very graphic and beautiful jewelry pieces.
