Part II

These images are part of a collaborative series between myself and Emily Porter. We are currently in the process of constructing light boxes to display them in. Now we're just waiting to hear back about spaces we've submitted proposals to for showing the work.

Currently exploring the subject of impressions, and the things we leave behind that show presence, or a lack of. Along with this is the idea of vulnerability and the delicate nature of these things. More to come.

MIAD Pre College Internship

I've been absolutely horrible with updating my blog over the last month. I've been working as a photo intern at The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design documenting the activities and work produced by the Pre College students and the Creative Educators Institute courses that run through July.

I've had the opportunity to spend some time with Jon Horvath's photography students, and accompanied them on a trip to Sonja Thomsen's studio to engage in a critique of her new body of work, which was really beneficial to the students' experience here.

I'm really blown away by the work the students have been producing during their time at MIAD. Including work by Maddy Profio and Kyle Putney (who we're all trying to convince to be a photo major at MIAD next year instead of Time Based Media)!

Painting Progress

Roughly what the finished product is going to look like. I wish I would have collected more bark but its a 4 hour drive to where I found it so I'm just working with what I have. The figures are going to be painted, I just like to layout lines for myself to start out.

Hands on.

I started painting again today. I haven't had any urge to photograph in the last week, all I've wanted to do is paint so I'm just going to get it out of my system while its rainy and gross outside. So far I'm covered from hands to toes in paint, my canvases are primed and I have the sketches laid out. I haven't painted in 3 years so we'll see how this goes :)

In the belly of June.

Photography as an outlet.

I don't have the words, which is why I have a camera. Sometimes it bridges the gap between brain and mouth.
