Extremes

               Extremes, Sharod Farmer 2020



Analyzing both aspects of my life I wanted to provide two segments that encompass who I am today. Today Sharod Farmer is an artist specializing with wooden sculptures and a Founder/CEO of a BookMark’d, an online marketplace for college students to buy and sell academic materials on their campus to other students.

For sculpture, I am always going with the flow and allowing my sculptures to take form on its own with my own body at its expense. In the event, a problem occurs, duct tape symbolizes my initial decision to use temporary fixes to solve the problem ultimately still showing visible signs of a disaster such as remnants in my hair. 

For my business personality, I analyze and examine more methodically to ensure the company thrives. Being on the move causing me to be heavily reliant on my keys to get me to my meetings. Being bombarded with paperwork to sign off for and always having to pitch to investors to receive funds. My team actually turned down 10 million dollars for the company and only time will tell if we made the right decision.

Some days I do wonder if having both of these extremes in my life is good for me given the amount of stress and demand that is associated, but all I can do is look at my watch to ensure that I am utilizing my time appropriately to one day receive my visual art studies degree and change lives of college students all around the world.
