Winning artist David Vo of Falls Church, VA
David Vo has liked art for as long as he can remember. For many years, he painted. He started working with other media after entering high school. He made sculptures for a time. Then a new material caught his eye.
DAVID VO: “This year I looked at rope and recycled twine and its something people would look at and say it’s too difficult to work with, but for me, it stood out to me and it was unique.”
Neckpiece by David Vo
David took this rope and twine and made beautiful neckpieces. Some are large and thick and cream colored. Others are a deep brown. They bend up and around the neck in a strange sculptural display. Almost all completely hide the neck. Or maybe the design is more protective than secretive.
DAVID VO: “It has a really odd meaning because as a kid growing up, kids bullied me. If it wasn’t for my weight, it was for my look. So when I found this material I was very proud to take something conventionally ugly and make it pretty.”
David Vo has never before entered his creations into a competition. His message to other hopeful artists is to believe in yourself.
DAVID VO: “Don’t be afraid to take risks. And if you think your piece is perfect, it is.”
Lady Gaga: "Born This Way"
CHRISTOPHER CRUISE: Musical artist Lady Gaga has had a big week. Sunday night, she won top pop artist and two other honors at the Billboard Music Awards. Then on Tuesday she released a collection of songs she had promised would be the album of the decade. First-day sales of “Born This Way” at Amazon.com were so strong that the company’s computers slowed, angering some buyers. But reaction to the album is generally good.
