statement
Minsie Lee
Aidan is a hardworking student who has dedicated a lot of his free time to investigate his guiding question in depth. His ability to materialize concepts using various techniques is excellent. He has given a lot of thought to how various techniques could be differently interpreted conceptually and used his insights to deepen the narrative of his work. I have continuously encouraged him to step outside of his comfort zone so that he is able to experiment with the growth mindset. Although he felt a bit lost at first, he gained confidence in his practices as the investigation progressed. He has strong ownership of his work, which was evident in the discussion I had with him. He had a lot of ideas to share and I made sure that he was leading his own practices while I only supported and guided him through presenting different possibilities. His work is stylish and delicate. His interests in the trends and subcultures are evident in his work.
