Wow. I have not written in a bit. It’s odd, I guess its easier when there is frustration or stress motivating me to release my feelings. I read a tweet from AIB that the darkrooms are open until 6AM tonight, that means its getting closer to finals and juries- I can’t even imagine working on something on such a time constraint anymore. To think I did it for so many semesters! It’s an entirely new world after graduating college, I’m sure it’s different for everyone but truly for an artist it’s like you’ve been granted a clock with infinite time. No deadlines to make anything, full leisure to work at your own pace. I am currently working on a continuation to my life project, which is actually a mix between senior thesis 1 and senior thesis 2. It’s huge for me as both a human being and am artist.
New York is this magical place that I am still soaking in every single day. Never taking anything for granted and still maintaining the belief that with hard work you can do anything. I’ve met incredible people and had so many amazing experiences thus far. I’m just thankful for it all. Its odd how much less stressed I am too, I don’t dwell for the future as much, maybe because the current state of the government has made me lose some hope in it. I guess I’m just doing what I can day by day and trying to get my feet wet in all the right ponds.
All for now,
B.
