Paiement described his entrance into the artwork as a self-inspired journey that led him to his first two drawing classes. From there he continued to painting and printmaking. Previous to his art-making, Paiement was an engineer. This is important to know because it shows in some of his later multi-media work with sheet metal. He uses a lot of geometric figures that I believe are stimulated from his engineering background.
He seemed very knowledgeable about physics. He made several references to the states of matter and energy, and continued to talk about the "Big Bang" theory and black holes.
I found his fret series to be very interesting. I suppose that's mainly because I play the guitar. I thought his use of led's in the piece to show guitar scales was fascinating and creative.
I also liked his triptych, two pieces of which are currently located in the UNH art gallery. I had gone to see them and hadn't really given much thought to what they meant. I had just admired the metal work and thought they were interesting. It was really neat to hear what Paiement had to say about them.
