The variations. The what-ifs. We\u2019ve run out of time or money or both, and what you see before you is going to be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an \u201cartist\u201d looking back on a \u201ccareer\u201d for an exhibit like this, perhaps I see the good enoughs that could have been better, as well as the good enoughs from various projects that have actually resulted in a decent body of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a collaborative artist, I have a difficult time pointing to the work and claiming it as my own. Sometimes I use the word artistic to describe my contribution, rather than Artist with a capital \u201cA\u201d. I have been part of creating works of art, but an artist? Hmmmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And am I able to separate myself from that work? Or is it the work that defines who I am?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, I\u2019m not really sure. And so this collection of examples of things I have helped to create include process, artifacts of OTHER artists work, as well as images of the finished products. Some of it is obscenely rough, some of it is too finished for a step along the way to the ACTUAL art. But all of it examples of what, for a moment, was good enough.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Curt Enderle<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kobayashi Animal Testing Balcony Sign Detail from Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs<\/em> , from the collection of Curt Enderle,<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n Objects from Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs<\/em> , from the collection of Curt Enderle,<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n Trained as a set designer for live theatre and based in Portland Oregon, BAFTA-nominated Curt Enderle has had a role in generating over 13 hours of stop-motion animated content.
