New Ideas- Books

New Studio location

The new paper studio I am working at is located in downtown Minneapolis at a place called the Minnesota Center for Book Arts. Some things i enjoy about this space are: The floors is tilted to the drain, three beaters, available flat file and small storage for my supplies, and a community of artist. I am currently the paper studio monitor which means I will be running the open studio workshops. This Saturday come join me for some marbling fun.

As far as my art goes, I am working on dying some Kozo which will be pulled genitally apart to make a organic web. I will be making about 100 of these webs about 6 inches in legnth. Then I will chine-colle them to some recycled paper sheets to make my wedding intentations. I am also continuing my printing process from graduate school but I still don't know how I'm going to print these. MCAD is now charging a $40 fee for anyone (inculding faucautly) who uses the printshop. I was really hoping to use that studio in June. Now I have to come up with $40.

I realize a blog is not the best way for me to show what I'm doing, but it is cheap. And I will continue until I am able to make my own website. Today I am going to build a career builder resume. With the thesis out of the way I am now focusing on finding a job. I have applied to the MCBA as a paper studio monitor and if I get that position I will be able to continue my processes as an artist. I am going to continue to work for Jon at Shamless INC (screen-printing job), but that alone will not pay my loans. I heard a rumor that after 10 years my loans are forgiven. I don't think it is true but if someone knows of some hard evadence to support that claim, tthen please show me.

I am looking to still being an artist. I want to set myself with a couple of goals. 1.) Enter myself in three shows after graduate school (They Can't Find Us Here Gallery looks good, and another show ith Sarah Haig) 2.) Make my wedding inventation and finishing plaining 3.) Don't settle on a job that pays less then $10 an hour
