Semester #2

It's fitting that the semester would begin on a cloudy, rainy day. One in which I'd rather be curled up on the couch reading and sipping tea...but instead I'm working in the digital lab.  The semester has started so abruptly and I'm feeling foggy and slow while it quietly drizzles outside.

I'm ready for semester #2. I know it'll be tough--my intuition senses that already. But I'd rather just jump in than wait around. 

I've been hiking a lot lately, and I've been taking photographs of tiny little worlds. Here are a few...

The Swing of Things

I passed review (I think). We haven't gotten our comments back yet, but I think I did okay. I was left feeling confused, tongue-tied, and unable to fully express what I'm doing...but that's grad school. I'm glad it's behind me. 

As semester two looms near, I attempted to start something (anything) to get back to making, thinking, and reacting in my white box studio.  It's always hard for me to jump back in after a break. I catch myself thinking too hard about what to make "in the studio"...I'm much better being elsewhere, contemplating things "not in the studio." Despite that, my hands are itching to get busy with making.  I'm sticking with the tried and true Liz Miller exercise.....create 50 drawings. Go.

(Here are 12).

MFA Review

My first big review is tomorrow.....Here are some sneak peeks. 

Studio Experiments

I will be posting photos soon of my new MFA work and experiments.

It's looking pretty different than my paintings that currently occupy most of my site.

Stay tuned.
