Senior

So, the show is up and ready to be seen. I am very excited to be done. Glad everything came together as well as it did. The great hall is overwhelming. There is really so much good work coming out of this graduating class in crafts. Sometimes over-ambition is a good thing.

If you don't already know the show opens TODAY in Hamilton Hall from 5-7pm. There is also a private opening on Sat. from 5-8pm. It will be up for a week. So, come see what we have all been working so hard on this year.

On a side note, I finally figured out what to do with my business cards. I think it is appropriate.

front and back...

Also glad that worked out as well as it did.

I have been really enlivened thinking about all the work I would like to make when I get time again. After this is over, it will be great to keep working on art outside of an academic setting and without people breathing down my neck. It is strange because after hanging my work for the show, I realized how far off my thinking is visually from all my thesis work. Probably going to stem off far away from fibers and pick up a paintbrush again this summer. That will be nice.

Business Cards?

Most recently drawing on acetate. The series is large but this is my favorite. It consists of layers of gently X acto-ed sheets.

The senior show preparation and installation is starting to come together. The show opens this Friday (5-7 pm) and Saturday (5-8 pm). Hope to see you all there.

As an added bonus...My postcards as downloadable wallpaper!

Set up a mock show of my work in the critique space. This was for my final advanced class critique. It went really well.

My mother came for a visit last Sunday and hung out in the studio for a while. She walked around and looked at my work. She "found herself getting lost in the drawings". I think, just with that comment, that I succeeded in making work related to my thesis. Wipe the sweat off my forehead.

Now, I just have to finalize and hang for the show.

Installed work I am considering putting in the show at the end of the month. I have a critique tomorrow. We will see how it goes.

Otherwise...here is a sample of the work I have been doing recently. Everything is getting more and more simplified.

senior show

Trying to plan and organize what I want to put in my senior show. It is giving me really horrible anxiety.

Here are some recent things I've been working on.

The first is an ink drawing on paper. The second is a screen print on silk. The last is a study for a wall drawing.

Mom wants me to go home for Easter. I really don't think that is going to happen.
