S-s-s-summer

Oh yes. It's here. Summertime in the city.
My last paintings of the semester:

Title: March I

Assignment: Paint some quick sketches of what you did over spring break.

I spent a lot of time in my bed. The fleur de lis came from the pattern on my quilt.




Title: March II and March III.

Assignment: Same assignment as above, different quilt.






Title: Untitled I and II

Assignment: In-class. Open.






Title: Windows

Assignment: Consider space and pattern. Duh, Kreimer. Kidding. (painting professor Julian Kreimer. Check out his stuff!).



For the second half of the semester we were asked to develop a theme, goal, idea, or whatever that would tie our final pieces together. I chose to try to create images that utilize kind of dreamy, film-like imagery.


Title: Self-portrait at the beach



Title: Kelly



Title: The Women



Title: Jellyfish



Title: The Day that Martha Stewart Came to Pratt and the Union Made a Scene



A few more to come. A few more, my friends.

Oh la la

Every walk every day this week and office decorations: a haiku

forty-thousand drips
slide off a yellow raincoat
puppets are funny

Gots me a couple of videos on youtube. This first one was a Video I project from last semester. I shot it the day I went to Coney to take footage of the waves that I used for the ceramic head and torso. To quell any fears, I want you to know that the ladybug survived. She was a resilient little BUGger. Oh Amanda, stop.

And this one is a Super 8 in-camera edit for Film I. Thank you to the lovely Romina Wixom for her acting, creative input, patience, and pretty face.

Other than that, we have finals this week, and I'm moving into a new apartment. Pictures of that soon. On a related note,

The solitary resident, one of many tales about Crazy Lady Greenberg: a haiku

putter around like
electricity kitty
Chanice meows alone


Happy Cinco de Mayo.
