Baaah

Finally finished the baby merino! She took such a long time since this was my first try at a lamb. And those folds! Oh my, what a tedious venture! But I love that kind of work.

Not perfect. I need to work on the skin looking more flexible. It looks to stiff for my liking. She was good practice for the next piece though. I'll be doing a baby scaling a fence/pedestal to reach her mom. The sheep will be a head mounted on the wall. My faces seem to be improving, slowly, but it's getting there.

I've had to scale my work down a bit since the kiln access is questionable at this point. I need to have work finished for my show by the end of April, so I can't count on getting the kiln I need. I plan on returning to large scale ASAP though. The following piece will be full scale momma sheep and a lamb being pulling away from each other by invisible hands.

1st Solo Show!

Really short show. It's mostly just an experiment in installation, lighting and public reaction.

But still exciting! I'm the only undergrad who got the space this semester!

I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Senioritis

I think I'm developing a serious case of Senioritis. You know, that mental condition where you are so close to graduating and can finally see the end that you start losing motivation to do anything at all.

Yeah. I'll be honest I'm totally not giving it my all right now. Since the second semester started, I've been taking a lot of "mental health" days. I have been totally squandering my weekends by watching tv all day and sleeping.

It's really not good. I should be working extra hard because I have my Senior Thesis show to work towards AND I still have to apply to two residencies. Plus, after this summer I don't have a definite studio to work in. I need to keep building my portfolio as much as I can.

Good things are starting to come forth out of my hard work and I don't want squash opportunities before they even surface by not being prepared for them. As in, not being ready for a show opportunity because I don't have enough work thanks to relaxing. Or being lazy. Let's just call it what it is.
