Art Update

Funny how I am in art school and hardly ever write about it. Life outside of school is way more interesting. Also, I hardly know what I'm doing at any given moment. But, alas, time for an art update.

I am making a bed to accompany my couch, which I am excited about. It is almost done, I just need to get on Natalie's sewing machine to make the pillows and the duvet. Oh and that is the blanket I knit on the side of the couch!

My progress review at the end of January went like this:

Me: I'm lost and I think my work is getting too nostalgic.

My tutors: Yes. Stop making all this repetitive/Dad/too-therapeutic work.

Me: I sort of hate you, but, you're right. Now what?

My tutor: Look at architecture.

Me: No.

Then came the couch. And then the bed. And then another tutorial with a new tutor.

It went like this: You are a painter and you should try painting again. Make 15 paintings on trauma in a month.

Me: Maybe you are right. Okay.

So now I am trying to paint again, which feels nice actually. Though, I forgot how expensive it is and how much I hate building stretchers. Anyway, that is the art update for now. If you see any traumatic photos online, send them to me. :)
