Review

My review on Monday went well. I was naturally really nervous b/c I'm a terrible presenter and hate being the center of attention. Thankfully, the review ended up being a conversation about my work. I received good feedback and was encouraged to keep exploring. Now I have to start preparing for qualifiying review in the spring. I'm so thankful for winter break though - a much needed break.

Post DEATH and what's upcoming

The show last night went well. We had a decent turn out considering it was put together at the last minute. I felt like my work was well received. A lot of people asked about the materials and process, and were over all visually attracted to the work; which I would consider the work a success on that note.

The show will remain up until Tuesday. However, my work will not be there. I had to deinstall last night after the show. I have my preliminarily review this coming Monday. This review is with a committee of 4 faculty members (chosen at random) who I will discuss the work I've made this semester thus far. The review is intended to provide feedback and advice on whether or not I'm on a good direction towards my qualifiying review in the spring. The qualifying review (with full faculty) is the real kicker - pass or fail, in or out of the program. I'm sure I'll be stressed to the max next semester. So, I'm doing my best to take this review on Monday seriously and as practice to talk about my work.

I'm ready to get this show on the road. In the meantime, here are couple shots of my work installed at last nights show.

DEATH Class

As philosopher Simon Critchley states, “…..death comes into the world to us through the death of others and so the question of grief is key in the relation between death and love.."
Over the course of the past semester, 14 students read texts ranging from Plato, Critchley, C.S. Lewis and others about death and grief and created artwork around this topic.  This show is a culmination of the semester's work and much of it is stunning,thoughtful, and surprisingly not grim.  
We would love for you to see the art and meet the students who created it.  The show will take place this Friday, December 7th at the Loudon House located on 209 Castlewood Drive.
The class would like to give special thanks to Becky Alley and the Directors at the Loudon House, whose generosity made this possible.
All semester long, I've been in a special topics class titled "Art, Death, and Dying" where works were created from inspiration of said topics.  Its been interesting.  I am one of three graduate students in the class, whereas the other eleven are advanced undergrad students.  With this show we have been given the opportunity to show off our best works from the class.  And since the class is so diverse the works range a great deal from video to fiber sculpture and minimalist paintings.

I hope you join us at the Loundon House this coming Friday.  It should be fun.
