continuing bodies of work

we have sort of touched on continuing bodies of work in class. until then i just figured they were of the same subject in the same meaning and they kind of have the same look to them. artist, Anna-Maria Bauer did the opposite. she was inspired by the geometric qualities of a turle shell and she has been doing works that are based on geometic principles. the thing that is different from what im used to thinking is that her work is done in many mediums. she uses steel, copper, brass, wood, stone, and so on. before i knew this, i just thought id get bored looking at a continuous body or ork because its basically the same thing. the fact that she uses different mediums keeps her art fresh. it also shows she is diverse when it comes to how she wants to make something. that serves importance to me because i used to only work with pencil and paper and as im growing, im learning new materials and its not easy, but it makes my works much more interesting cuz you have something new to look at
