ARTIST STATEMENT/CV
ANTHONY GUNTREN
I am currently seeking my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) at CSU, where I am fortunate enough to teach a beginning sculpture class while building some thought provoking sculptures that deal primarily with collective consciousness. My goals focus on large-scale works for the public sphere.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I have come to sense that this world consists of an energy that is collectively connected; As I live my days I attempt to represent this network with visual art.
