Shower Break...

I just got finished with work today. Tomorrow is my final BFA review and I've got to get everything installed for the committees coming by. I just stopped by to take a quick shower and grab a quick nap before heading back to the studio for another long night of cleaning, painting, and hanging. Wish me luck!

Thank you! I just had my BFA review and it went well. I didn't get honors, but I'm happy about that. It took me an entire year to really discover what made me different from a lot of my peers, but I found out that it is my dedication to the Process and refining my visual vocabulary and expanding upon it. I'm a polyglot if you think about it.

Oh, I'm going to sleep good tonight. I'm ready to fall over with how tired I am, but happily so.

It will go over just fine! And if it doesn't, who cares what they think! I never listen to unconstructive criticism, it is designed to undermine you (possibly avoiding future competition...) I had male professors telling me women really have no important place in art history or in current art. Really? How weird to say such things! Anyway, I think people can say silly, random quips that don't mean anything. Seriously, if I listened to every remark, I wouldn't have done anything with my life. I think you'll do great, your work is strong, soulful and filled with hidden meanings and a strange magic.

Thanks Cynthia. The critique was good and I agreed with a lot that was said, but it did make me aware of what was important to me. For me, the process is important. Showing the process and involving the viewer in it is something that I like to do very much. It is one of my goals. I'm getting ready to install new work for the show on Thursday. Very sleepy and tired, but strangely very invigorated.
