"Corrosion"-Reichert experimented with working with curves and surface altercation while sculpting the metal piece. "I think I have definitely grown a lot, because when I first started, I was dead set on being a painter," she said. "Then I ended up becoming a sculpture major and working in all of these museums. I learned a lot of things."
