one month, and the entire past 14 hours...my hands hurt

These are horrible photos and I plan to take better ones but I needed to get this post up just to feel some satisfaction. I have been working on this embroidery for a month now, but I completed the last third of it or so TODAY. And by today I mean the ENTIRE day. I have spent the past 14 hours embroidering my little heart out. I have watched three movies, countless "This American Life" podcasts, and nearly worn out my radio. I have drank more hot chocolate than should be humanly possible. BUT IT IS FINISHED! I think that I'm going to try to make two more before the semester is up. I like the way that the photo translates into embroidery and I like how the very medium gives it a different read than when the same image is painted. It is 4"x6" the exact size of the original photo.

TA DA!

"safe with me" BFA show

I'm sorry that it has been so long since my last post. I haven't been posting because I've been very very busy! with exciting things! I had my BFA show titled "safe with me" a few weeks ago; it was up Feb 3rd through the 6th. Despite the opening coinciding with a snow storm we still had a great turnout. I got a lot of good feedback on the show as well which was really great to hear. It took a lot of work but it was very much worth it. Here are some pictures:











Since the show I have a lot of new things in the works...I'll post about them later...
