My wall for the Thesis Show. It’s about 25 feet of space, so I’ll be able to fit 5-6 pieces of the 20 prints I finished this semester. It was possible to acquire more space but I just want to show my strongest work and not break my back during the installation. I’ll show more of the series later in the summer. Starting August, I’ll have work up for 6 weeks at the Spyhouse Coffee shop. This semester was weird, I wasn’t nearly as stressed about the work as I was in my undergraduate days. I think a lot of it has to do with how anti-climatic my BFA show turned out. I stressed out so much and got mono on top of it. That show was so IMPORTANT at the time… looking back, I realized it wasn’t that big of a deal. It was just a group show, so is this one. It’s not the last one and it certainly doesn’t culminate the work as being “perfect” and final. The work will always be unresolved in some sense and that’s fine by me. It just means I will always have something to continue my exploration. I’m just happy I’m leaving graduate school with a grasp on what I want to do with my work. That’s what I wanted: change in my approach and solidification in the art. I came to MCAD with such an identity crisis, both in my work and myself. I think I’m starting to resolve those issues.
