A new fresh start to my previously blahh blog, i am holding myself to a minimum of one weekly post (although dare i say i will try for 2). Since i have come back home: 1. marriage has gone up down all around and crashed in flames. who the fuck knows where it will end up. 2. found great mentor (http://wendyjacob.net/ ) that i am super excited to work with. 3. I have had to gut myself emotionally and am now throwing the myself into my work. 4. lost my camera connect cable to upload my residency pics. because i am that organized. so i am some how going to find a way to put my pics from the residency up.
As for working after a lot of thought and discussion i am experimenting and playing with my only resource - my 14 acres of pristine forest. I will also address my big problem of documentation right at the beginning with an actual sketchbook and meticulous notes of my process! and who knows i might even use my dreaded least favorite medium---- video! My thoughts have been turning to floating, flying, and falling. so i am documenting my explorations of the land and its intersection with escape- to, through, and from. the one thing that i know about my art this semester- it will be my great escape and made on a shoestring budget. did i mention that my (ex?) husband has drained every penny and driven me into using previously untouched credit cards for everything from bills to food and gas. nice. so yes- next to free art.
i just deleted about 4 paragraphs that i blabbered, that is the funny thing about writing, i drag my feet and then cant shut up. i think i am going to start a journal again for my own sanity. sorry to make this about everything but my actual art..... i will be updating again on thursday- promise! horay!
Aw Nicole - both of us now. I like to trust that it's all working out for the best... call me if you ever want to chat. And - I can't wait to see what you make of it with the work.
