Grow Into Your Own

Today was a really beautiful day, all the fears i had yesterday about my life, friends and school all just sort of dissolved today. I spent nearly 6 hours in the studio today working on my final project for modeled forms. It was one of the greatest feelings, just getting to work on art that im really passionate about and having the time to create it. Also there were so many people coming in and out of the studio space, i never felt bored or lonely, i didnt even need music i was just in the groove of the piece. A taped body cast tree. Its a self portrait in a sense. It feels good when i can get attached to my art, i mean frick thats why im here to learn how to get attached to all the work that i create haha. I cant wait till the summer when i can start weaving. yahoo

Need I Say More

Cradle What You Carry

I went and saw the Vagina Monologues tonight and it blew me away.
It made me feel empowered as a woman but still left me feeling guilty for all of those women around the world who do not have the same power and are forced into things like the sex trade and genital mutilation and I dont even know where to begin to help them.

Im trying to make a taped body cast of a tree for my Modeled Forms class, and I got really into it without really understanding how it would look once the limbs were cast and how much time and effort and help im acctually going to need in order to complete this project. mostly i just need help cutting myself free of the taped casts but it still requires that someone be there for most pieces, and for that i feel guilty, because my friends do have other projects they need to be working on, perhaps ill just have to pool my resources a little. I also dont know how much of my body to incorporate, I can picture the body being upright more then growing out of the earth upside down, although it would look more explosive,bahh...

Lately ive been so tired, its hard to will myself out of bed and so easy to slip in. Life seems much more daunting these days and the excitement doesnt last very long, im still so bloody nervous about things I wish I wasnt dammit I need goals i need to feel like im doing something with these days not just sittin on my rump de bump.
