As this Update goes out, it is mere days from the end of the academic portion of work for my master's degree in fine art (happy dance ensues). Once the grading deadlines pass next week, the fun part begins in preparation for our final Degree Show at the end of September.

MFA research: Studio 1 Assessment exhibition

I just wrapped up the 2nd term of a 2-year MFA, capping it off with an in-studio exhibition of my work and a fat research binder to back it up. The research process has been eye-opening!
