OMG, Diana!
how wonderful to see your baby's image! how far along are you now? are you in your 2nd trimester?
what are you writing about this semester? I just turned in my first mailing on the beginning of the book Relational Aesthetics. I'm really excited for my second mailing research which is Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor; and Aids and its Metaphors, along with Intra Venus by Hannah Wilke and TBD book about Nan Goldin.
I've been reworking some of my videos from last semester which I began originally just to make them ready to be put on my Vimeo website with my last semester videos. I haven't met with my AT, Mary Patten (a video artist and activist), yet but we have one scheduled for tomorrow, finally.
How about you? who is your AT? have you met with them yet? do you know what you are going to make? what kind of feedback did you get about your photos at the residency... I know you only had a couple crits and the review.
I'm still struggling with understanding what they asked me to do and or not do. anyone feel like they know what is expected of them?
hope you are all well. miss you!

Hey Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI'm in NY and meeting with my AT for the first time this morning. I'm not sure- but I do know from the past that the work makes work- and a direction does unfold- no matter how slow, painful, and discouraging the process may be. I'm looking forward to seeing how your readings inform your videos.
Hope everyone is doing well- Spring is around a very big corner!
Love,
Sumru
Wow, Carrie, it really sounds like you are off to some great readings and work. I am excited for you. As for what is expected of us, that is never clear. I like to think it is more about just working hard and trying to find a sort of progress so that we are learning as we go. With art you can never ask of something or expect something. You just have to work at it.
ReplyDeleteI am now moving into my second trimester, YAY, and things are looking up. I am feeling much better. This first 2 months of the semester have been tough as hell but I am trying to push harder.
The warm weather is near, I am hoping this will help spring us all forward.
