Week 10

I had my SpaceLab show during week 9 (which I didn’t do a blog post for, heh) and I feel like it went realy well. I got a lot of good, reaffirming feedback as well as some realy great critical feedback. Lots to chew on for the next couple pieces I have in mind…

This past week I’ve been working on my upcoming residency applications for Belger Crane Yard/Red Star in Kansas City, and for Pottery NorthWest in Seattle that are both due mid-April. I’ve been editing/compiling images from my SpaceLab show Overlooked and working on writing letters of intent. I also am trying to get a few new small pieces made for a show I want to apply to at Trestle Art Forward that’s due April 1st.

The other day I got asked to be a part of a last minute pop-up show that will be going on at NCECA, so I am also trying to figure out what piece I am going to submit to that. I’m supposed to bring it with me to the conference and drop it off, and whatever it is has to be ‘smaller than a NBA regulation basketball’. Most of my work is fairly large, but I already said yes so I’ll pull something out of my ass.💃🏻

The goal is to have all of this stuff taken care of before we leaving for NCECA… in a week. No pressure.

Week 8

During his past week, I was finishing up the pieces to go into my spacelab show and photographing everything for my application for the Barlow Clay internship.

Once everything is installed in the spacelab, I plan on taking more photographs of them but for this I set up in the Time Space. I also decided I finally need to break down and get my own camera to document work, because it’s something I will have to do all the time and not every place I go to will have one for me to use.

I plan on my opening being reception Wednesday since my my BFA group critique is on Thursday. All I have left to do is move some stuff into the space, I already painted and hung up the most time consuming/difficult one; the 345 bobby pins on one of the walls. Today I also need to hang up fliers around the school and finish my show title to be him in/outside of the Spacelab.

On a different note, I got to go to Southern Crossings Pottery festival real quick for a half hour on Saturday between jobs, and it seems like a pretty cool event.
