I'm here, I swear!

Hello blogosphere,
I'm here, I promise! I have been a little lax on updating.
I've been working hard, finishing up pieces and getting photos done. I had two photo shoots over the weekend, and they went GREAT! Liz Roberts is a beautiful model, and the men from Army of Infants were rocking the house. I have a few adjustments to make to the garments before the performance, but the motions are working out well.
I'm also working on final drawings. It's been hard being confident in drawing and creating in a new way, but I think it's going well.

Teaching methods has been interesting, learning about teaching philosophies and how to write them. So much goes into one, I don't know how i'm going to keep it short!

Here are some people I am looking at:

Metal sculpture

Tragedy and art

Huichol Beadwork
Where has this been all my life?

Gregory Euclide

Ronit Bigal

Carol Boram Hays

Imme Van Der Haak
Great work with the body.

neglect

Sorry blogosphere. I have neglected you. But here I am, typing characters on this screen.
I have a critique this week, and here are my thoughts:
I am just working along right now. I am done thinking about my work too much. I have done that all semester, and now is crunch time. I feel I can intelligently justify my work, so i'm just chugging along!

Here are some people I am looking at as i'm chugging along:

Kuma Kuna
Wearable Sculpture

Lorenzo Quinn
Figurative sculpture

As I chug along I am thinking seriously about next semester. I have no idea about what i'm going to do. Woo! But i'm sure it'll fall into place. Or i'll force it. Somehow i'll know. I know I want to use more beadwork. I know I want it to be wearable. I know I want it to involve how the body moves. And there you go. Beyond that, I know nothing.
