3S: An Unlikely Turn of Events for a Shy Artist

As I came in utilize the last day of printing, Julee recommended I put 3 pieces into the 3S exhibit; she and I worked together to curate my collection. Although I hadn't intended on submitting, I'm really excited about the prospect of getting into an art show! I chose these 3 images from the semester, all printed on matte 13x19 paper:

The first is from the beginning of the semester. I drove my friends and I to Vermont to see a show for my best friend Sophie's birthday. This was from the morning after, in a junk yard outside the back-woods bagel place we found in Burlington.

 The second photo is from the still life unit, Julee inspired me to pay a visit to the drawing and painting studios after what felt like a wildly unsuccessful shoot. Safe to say I found my own form of art within the studio. 

The last is from my final project, emulating Eggleston. It was a frigid morning in Boston, but the cold extremities during and illness which came thereafter was well worth the images I captured.

 I hadn't imagined I'd select images which I took shortly after the beginning of the semester, just over halfway through, and at the end of the semester. If anything I would've pictured choosing 3 from my final project; but it's nice to feel as though I've been doing good work since day one.

 I also never thought I'd have the confidence to put myself and my art into the world. I'm very reserved about art, music, my passions in general, and I'm glad she pushed me to submit. Even if I don't get in, the idea of showcasing my work is exciting (-: 

(thank you Julee, for always believing in me!!)
