I have been working on my artist statement lately, it started as word vomit but I’ve been cleaning it up and condensing it to be precisely what I want, but it focuses a lot on me and how I’ve been feeling juxtaposed with the work I create in a desire to be liked. This is getting to be more and more of an exploration in letting go for me, and I have created some pieces that I’m actually starting to feel good about. I’ve been working with double exposures and mixing that with alternative processing, and Andreas spent several hours in the darkroom with me helping me experiment and that has really fuled me. Also, I have been working on a 3D piece where I’ve been folding a book and am creating a design. I should also have some self-portraits that I've been working on for photo class but have turned into a personal project about how I feel about the craziness that is my life currently. Can't wait to see everyone's stuff at critique!
Here's a quote from Helmut Newton whose show I got to see on the NYC trip which was super exciting to see!
