My senior thesis show went off with barely a hitch, just a minor photography snafu. The reception was great. It was small but still overwhelming. And I got my diploma in the mail a couple weeks ago, which means I need to finish writing my thank you cards. (I sent half of them already, so I'm not completely slacking!)
Here's a photo of me working on the interactive piece, thanks to Carol Ventura. The yarn for this was contributed by friends and strangers alike, and each section tagged with the donor's initials and city of residence. I had a sign underneath the title inviting others to sit and knit, and several people took me up on it once I pointed it out. I'd love to know if anyone knit on it while I wasn't there, but I have a feeling the answer is 'no' since most people don't interact with the art in a gallery.
Now, I'm ready to set up my studio, but I'll have to rent a place or build it from the ground up. I've heard that there's studio space for artists in town but I sure can't find any information online. Instead, I'm searching for a silly capitalist job to put money toward A: living, and B: building a studio on my property. Wish me luck! In the meantime, here are a couple more photos from my show.
Each piece represents a place or series of places that's important to me. Some are more obvious than others.
