Fall 2012
This semester has been really in-flux.
I am taking a full-load at SAIC, five classes and the first week of school was a little chaotic: my phone, washing machine, and car all broke down. That set everything into motion and then two weeks ago, at this time of day, I was hit by a car under the blazing afternoon, Fall, sun in the knee cap outside the Student Center.
So,
I am doing five papers in my Literature I Survey ( Beowulf, Milton, "The Green Knight" and Shakespeare)
I am working on several Artist Books with my academic advisor, Alatolo, including a documentary of my fall semester's highlights and events, pop culture moments, daily happenings in and out of Chicago, and "We found Love" a piece dedicated to my other-half. Then, my ultimate project for those two courses on Artists Book is an album dedicated to my wanna-be other half, Mr. Shawn Carter.
I am taking a Basic Sculpture course where I will be working on a final project of wooden, carved items. I'm thinking spoons, pipes and pipe holders, totems, and bookcovers. I got plenty of Birch plywood!
My other course is an Art History requirement that covers Asian American Art History which covers many controversial subjects from racism, political movements, oppression, class division, &
identity, and lack of identity (nothingness).
It's pretty intense but equally interesting.
I will post more later this month, this week is going to be real busy and hard to manage with the political climate and elevated stress in Chicago because of the turbulence of the 2012 election. Everyone stay safe Tuesday night, avoid McCormick place because of federal barricades.
Love!
