About the exhibit

Creation to me is a form of putting my thoughts in a tangible form, something you can touch, look at, and interact with. All of the work I create and you see today starts with an idea and flows directly into form. I believe in creating in a pure, unrefined way, and am inspired by the interactions, people and nature around us. I have come to realize I am lucky to be bombarded with ideas, and always tell my family, I think I am more motivated to see my ideas come to life, rather than to build something for sale or show. My work is a reflection of my thoughts, optimism, and belief that any idea, person, and good action starts small. 

About the artist

Edgar Batcheller is an outdoorsman, skateboarder, and craftsman. Raised in a household where boredom was never an option, he found building things was always an outlet. He has a passion for bringing the ideas and thoughts he has to form. Often times, to “just see if it would work.” Edgar has a wide variety of creative forms ranging from doodles, to T - shirts, all the way to his tables and giant Tiki. He believes in creating with a purpose, whether that is to inspire the same action that drives him, or to build things with longevity. He is an incoming graduate student at UVA Mcintire school, and hopes to apply his passion for creative pursuits and nature preservation to the world of business.
