These days I've become really focused on my work which is a refreshing change of pace considering the funk I've been in since the beginning of the semester. Everything I've been working on up until this point has been me just going through the motions, just doing something- anything- to keep me connected to the studio. And I'll admit I've gotten a few decent pieces out of this method of working but none of them are related to the body of work I'd like to show in the senior exhibition.
But as I've said, I have finally gotten my mind and energy back on track. And I've also been able to branch out and make some pieces that are out of the realms of my normal paintings (which, I've come to realize, is really important for me). I need to be able to get my hands in as many media as I can in order to be fully happy with the work I'm producing. So now, instead of just showing paintings, I have prints and book forms that I'm really excited to show.
I hope this new found energy and drive won't fade. I need this to get me through the rest of this semester. April 29th. That's our reception. Installation is earlier that week. It's getting close.
