BFA Exhibition

well it finally happened! the show opened last night and I had a great turn out! Everyone had fun playing and reading the books I made. Its a bittersweet feeling having it all up, I am very excited and happy for the turnout, but I know I will be sad later when I have to take it all down. This BFA exhibition was one roller coaster of emotions and I loved every step of the way.  I had so much support from my family, friends, and professors and want to thank them all. Without them I could have not have done all of this. I will be posting my artist statement later.

BFA Review

I forgot to post about the BFA review that happened last Friday, it was great to hear feedback and suggestions from professors and peers. I also signed up for my solo exhibition, its the first week in March. Things are becoming finalized; its scary, fun, and exciting! I have a lot work to do, but I'm so happy with what I'm doing :)

Swans

book making is probably one of my favorite things to do, so to start off the school year, I made an accordion book fold (I'll be posting pictures of the book folded out and the process later).  I've been trying to simplify my color choices to get a better flow, and I think I am getting it down!
This semester is going to be crazy, 4 studios and I'll cracking down on my BFA thesis so there will be a definite documentation and posting!

Final Products

I've been meaning to post the final outcomes of my graphic design class.

Turns out I am quite fond of book binding.  I took a week long class over the summer at the Visual Studies Workshop, in Rochester. The class was taught by Abbey Hendrickson (who has her own awesome blog) and I've never learned so much in one week, 19 different bindings!  So I have decided to make books along with my paper doll alter-pieces for my BFA show.  Hopefully I can pump some out before the semester starts...
