Where I've been spending my time (part I)

The print shop and litho stones

Grad school is wonderful, and frustrating, and exhausting all at the same time. I have been spending 12-14 hours a day in the studio several days a week. I'm very much in the experimental and exploratory stages of work-- nothing is solid or certain. I have to constantly remind myself to play right now, and worry about the why later.

I've been spending a lot of my time in the print shop, and most specifically doing lithography in depth for the first time. I always feel at home in the shop-- the smell of the ink, the weight of the paper, the methodical process, and the thrill of pulling a print off the plate. 

(I have several prints in the works that I'll share soon...)

Friday Inspiration: Chairs + Postcards

Vintage postcards of chairs from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

It's September and the city is bursting at the seams with students and the academic year has begun anew. I am looking forward to autumn and the crisp weather and changing colors.

I started the graduate program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts today. I'll be earning my MFA over the next 2 years.

And so it begins...
