This week I went to more galleries in Toronto, including the Ontario Gallery of Art, which had a huge show of large scale photography and video works, titled Anthropocene. I also spent the weekend at Saltonstall, an artist retreat. As a tradition, when I go to Saltonstall, I create a sketch of an anatomical heart. I continued to work on my postcard project, and started to plan out how they will look for exhibition. I also added to my process file and research log, both for grad school.

I prepared for and attended the state conference for art teachers this week/weekend. I was super fortunate to hear Dr. B Stephen Carpenter and Mark Dion speak at the conference. Dion was especially humorous in his talk and his work is incredible, both in scope and scale of his investigations and studies. I attended several workshops and presented one of my own on Studio Thinking.
On Sunday, I was able to go to the Albright-Knox art museum and see the We the People exhibit, which was amazing, in that there was a collection of diverse artists showing together, making the personal political. This week I took photographs for some digital art projects. I practiced making a mirrored polar panoramic in Photoshop. I also completed my midterms for grad school. For my postcard project, I created the next two cards in the series. I had to handwrite the text on the back of the card and prepare all the files in Photoshop for printing.
This was a week of seeing art. On Thursday, I attended the opening of Human Nature, an exhibition by artist Carla Stetson at the Handwerker Gallery. On Sunday, I went to Mass MoCA, a museum for large scale exhibitions. I enjoyed the works by Taryn Simon and Liz Glynn, both of which were inspirational to my works. I also sent out another round of postcards and worked on my process file for grad school.
