as of late ive been neglecting this blog. this is mostly for two reasons. the first is that i tend to like to fill this space with items that exist on a more magical level. sometimes i stick trivial things in as well, but likely because they are meaningful indicators into other things. i don't get to do a lot of traveling when i'm in school. although i could, i choose not to write about my art here, or mostly anywhere for that matter. etc etc etc. the second reason is that ive taken to writing mostly in a notebook, in stream of consciousness style. this would be writing that is not only much more inclusive and personal, but also of little interest to others, especially considering that it would be difficult to understand. i think that i often have the intention of writing everything there and then structuring certain parts of it together to put here. it hasn't happened that way yet. i'll let it be for now and if i write here, then i write here. if not then there is mystery, and i suppose the day-to-day crap will go on facebook. except now that i'm here i feel like writing a bit, so...

this quarter i'm taking a very interesting 20th century american art history course, but it is a grad level course and it's kicking my ass! i've also got a holography class with amber, in which the lectures are sort of fun, but the critiques are faring pretty primitive, much too literal, and ultimately useless. my real attention lies in my serigraphy class. it's a hard class, being a printmaking class. the critiques are absolutely the best you can find, though. i'm making work that i really love, and my latest piece seems to have been the result of years of evolution of my working with certain methods. i'm pretty excited to see where i take it from here.

next quarter we'll be taking 3 studios together again, just like the old days :) they are video art, bw photo ii, and new media (sort of interactive sculture).

can't wait for spring time, i want to see flowers everywhere!!
anyhow, peace.
