Studio Notes November: Starts and Stops and Stumble Upons

November 24, 2020 in IN THE STUDIO

This month has been a struggle. I’ve had some personal things to attend to that have made it hard to focus and difficult to finish my work in progress. However, I did finish the piece above and I am very excited about making more sculptural work using fiber.

I’ve been really enjoying my Soft Sculpture class and crit club this semester. I also had the pleasure of stumbling upon an art show featuring María de los Àngeles Rodríguez Jiménez in my neighborhood!! This was the first time in months that I stumbled upon a show, which is something that used to happen nearly everyday when I lived in LES pre-COVID-19.

I really enjoyed the use of blues and yellows and soft forms int he show. The theme (the womb) is resonating with me right now, but also made me a little annoyed because it made me feel like everything has been done and just when you feel like you have some good ideas to work on, you see work that touches on the ideas and then you don’t really want to go that direction anymore.

Despite my month of starts and stops, I’m now on my way with some new work that I’m excited about and busy working on. I’ve taken over my living room floor. I always end up working on the floor for some reason.

    In June I took a new @nyccritclub course called Textile Translations taught by @padmavathy_r. The class was amazing and it also helped me meet other artists working in fiber and textiles, including @kekearle! Katherine came to my current show and I h
