Week Two: Questions

The studio. The best advice on being an artist is to approach it like any other job: show up with intent and do the work. I also remind myself to embrace uncertainty and fear not failure because its lessons yield great wisdom and insights. I returned from VCFA two weeks ago eager to study with zeal. Reviewed my critiques, notes and lists of ideas for the term. Now I am decompressed and eager to meet Natasha Mayers, my artist mentor, on Tuesday and set my protect goals for these six months. Making lists of questions, lots of questions. This exercise haons my focus and provides context for perspective, ways of seeing. I love research, learning, dialog and most ventures. This leds to great conversation but easy distraction. In research this tentency pops up as I try to expand the area of my project's perameters. Currently culing my ideas and aiming for a clear and concise proposition. I started in the idea of wilderness and the bianary conversation of man and nature. This progressed to space and place as defined by culture and experience. Reading Tuan and pondering my own question for folks to understand the shared passion and love of the Maine Woods.
