Art.School. Studio.Life...its all just Gresh
New stuff (finally!)
This semester has been rough. I haven’t made many books, but this one was a fun one. Its a belgian “secret” bind. I covered the book board with textures I collected on my iPhone. This book features a bark and sweater print (what more could a gal ask for).
Playing catch up (is impossible)…Salad however is complete!
Some recent photos from the Yankee swap shoot.
Tape constellation! This photo captures the remnants of a studio mate’s collage. I really like how the soft light hits the walls, and how you can see traces of the colored construction paper. I wonder if he photographed this, its a quite lovely un-intentional artwork.
The second photo is another SALAD preview. On Monday we had our very first shoot. The theme of the shoot was based off yankee-swap ideas. All of the items in the shoot were plucked from our lives. The main items were odd gifts we were given but for some reason still kept. Ah SALAD is coming out on the 29th, but will be totally compiled this weekend. Time is flying right now (its kinda freaky).
Test-proofin :)
Where have all the students gone?
………….into Hershey’s cookies and cream (duh)
I miss summer, : (
I’m working on a new print…above is the initial sketch.
Apathetic screen prints (lol)
(And finally)
I had a critique this morning. It went oddly. Usually I love critiques. I find them to be helpful experiences that allow for a dialogue one would normally not have in ‘real life’. However now that I have slowly shifted gears-in the realms of senior thesis (and my life- ha not to be melodramatic or anything) its becoming a bit hard to explain what it is I am trying to ‘say’ with my art. At the moment I feel like my head is in so many places (or as my senior thesis advisors explained “right now your way OUT HERE”- hands motioning in a wide V shape). Is it weird to have no opinion at all? I guess I have one when it comes to the realm of aesthetics (I sure as hell know a good print from an awful one); but I am TOTALLY skeptical of my ability and interest in making conceptual art.
