It was nice to wake up today knowing that from here on out I'll be getting to go into the studio everyday to work. It's been a long few weeks traveling, getting settled, having meetings. I have enjoyed my travels very much, but at the same time, I am very excited to have a space in which to work. I've been traveling around for a long time, collecting and formulating ideas for new work, it's a relief to be able to carry them out, if I think about a piece too much and not act, I will end up doubting the work, even before it's underway.
I met again with the faculty on Wednesday to finalize my mentor, I will be working with Professor Drinkovic of the Sculpture department, he is also the Dean of the Academy. Shortly after the meeting he took me to the studio I'll be working in and got me a desk and space right away. We went to the student supply center in the basement of the academy, it certainly beats walking or biking across campus to the co-op to get a roll of duct tape!
I left the academy yesterday with my space in order, to come back this morning to find all the desks moved to the middle of the room and renovations going on. The students in the studio next door invited me to join them in theirs, so I was able to get some work done, but mostly just got to know my fellow students. Hopefully the studio space will be ready tomorrow, Monday at the latest.
Tomorrow, I plan to meet with Professor Drinkovic to go over my plans for the semester, which include some an edition or two of prints I'd like to start on, the I will start on getting supplies and get to work. If reno. is still underway and nothing much can be done, I'll head over to the figure drawing class, one can never have too much drawing experience.
Next post probably after Venice this weekend, unless something extraodinarily interesting happens tomorrow.
