Spoonful of SugarSuppressed / CompressedPatient SpacesWinter 2018 Residency at Vermont College of Fine ArtsIn the past three weeks, I have finished up last minute preparations for attending a 10 day residency at my college. This is the second residency I have attended, the first mostly being a learning experience on how the program works. This time, I had to be prepared to present my research findings, show my work, sit through a formal review of my studio work, and have my works critiqued by professional artists. I also attended lectures, slide presentations, and workshops, as well as started planning out my future studies.
I was also fortunate to meet Jana Harper, and will be working with her in the next six months as my Artist-Teacher. I have several ideas for where my work is going and think I will end up focusing on Photography and Video work for this semester, possibly with some bookmaking aspects, too.

I was super fortunate to head back to Saltonstall for four days/nights over holiday break. I had an amazing studio space connected to a one bedroom apartment. I finished my second major project for grad school, titled Spoonful of Sugar. It is 27' long and two layers, so technically I worked on 54' of matte drafting film to pull this whole project together!
I also had some creative play time at Saltonstall, so I tried out the squeegee painting I had my students experiment with on our last day of school. I photographed the squeegee paintings and tested them out with multiple-exposures. Then I got back to work and painted the dust cloud on my final piece for grad school, Suppressed / Compressed. I was so inspired by my time at Saltonstall, on my last evening/morning, I painted an anatomical heart, then went home and drew elbow anatomy in permanent marker. I spent quite a few hours reading two books for my graduate course this week. I also finished constructing my test light box and experimented with projecting light through my project. Not pictured here, but I also created an Illustrator file with the proper dimensions for the wood box I will be building. I also created all the digital files for the pills and printed them out.
