Today is the first day of classes...finally. I am really itching to make work right now. I went to Costa Rica for the Spring semester last year and have only made one sculpture since 2009! I need to get my materials into my studio so I can organize and finally get my thoughts together about what my body of work will be this year. I have always focused on the loss of my brother, Jared but I am tempted to step away from that for this class. To create work with a less intense concept. However, the anniversary of his death is next month so it's impossible to get him off my mind.
I do have some goals: I want to use materials I already have. Instead of going out and buying a ton of new shiny things, I need to use the paint I bought in high school. The paper I made in Costa Rica, the broken glass from former work that I just can't bring myself to throw out, these are all free materials taking up space. I want to clean out my closet and create work with what I have. I hope I can stick to it.
