I've been busy the past couple weeks I had Open Studios on 11/17 & 11/18 which went well I had my newer work out and some old work, it was nice to get different feedback. I went to the Andrea Robbins and Max Becher lecture sponsored by the PRC on 11/15, I had not seen there work before and it as interesting to see there take on the landscape and how they work together as a couple. Last night I went to a lecture at BU of Magdalena Campos Pons work another artist who I did not know that much about. However, I was intrigued by her work. She makes connections to home and memory in her work which is something I'm tackling in my new work.
It was nice to have a break from teaching for Thanksgiving and I was able to spend some time in the studio which was much needed. Still working with maps and thinking about ways I can use them differently in my work. I just scanned some negatives in which I photographed multiple exposures of maps in my studio with my Holga. Last night I thought again about making my own map, and possibly tracing on top of maps the way I travel to work, home, etc and then scanning those lines to create a linear map of my travels then juxtaposing that onto my images. I'm excited about where this work can take me and all the possibilities.
There is a part of me that can't believe it's almost December and my next residency is fast approaching but I'm excited to show the new work I have. I still have reading for Critical Theory to work on but it's all getting there one day at a time I try to keep telling myself.
