Well, the show went well, and my parents are in town. I have been busy showing them around, but more so, I have been busy getting lost in my head. With parents here, there seems to have a lot of feelings involved lately and I am not used to that at all. I have been working on a new format of resume and website and those practical stuff. I am also trying to explore related, but a little different style of work. After the critique with Scott, I feel a little better but still lost. There are some questions I have been asking myself, but I still don't know the answers yet. I am not sure what direction to go next, but I know taking step by step will help.
In my printmaking workshop, I am trying new printing way with the same figure and hopefully, she can help me find myself. With parents here, I am lucky enough to go see different places, such as DC and Seattle. It is weird and stressful to be gone for two weekends straight. However, I did use my time away efficiently. I saw a lot of art and got a lot of inspiration from the famous artwork, from people around me, from the different culture in different cities, and from my chaotic brain and mind. From being overly excited to see Kiyochika's prints of night lights to crying in front of Andrew Wyeth's Off At Sea, I found a little peace in simplicity. I want to focus on the simplicity more from now on, but forcing myself to use the same figure until I am sick of her (or when I have another breakthrough). Besides all of the craziness in my mind, I am super excited to start the plan with my printmaking final project! Parents leave tomorrow, and I will be back on my own for another unknown period, so I guess I will have plenty time to commit to art again.
