It was really great getting to
talk to Bleu from ROCA last week as it was quite a different insight to the art
world. One of the things I enjoy most is being able to organize events and
bringing art together for a show (it is one of the reasons I am creative
directors for ArtAwake). Seeing that those opportunities are out there and that
I could get paid is exciting for me. Bleu has a great grasp on being able to
run an operation as large as ROCA as he talked about “running a tight ship”
which is something I relate to through Art Council. I know that I have to be
organized and keep everyone on their toes and hold them accountable for their
actions so we can successful plan events.
I also think I had a little bit
of a breakthrough this week with finding out more about me and my work. So my Environmental
Studies thesis deals with how people understand climate change through photos
and videos. I find it really interesting on how people understand environmental
science through the information presented in the media.
My friend Danny(who knows me
extremely well) was looking at my work and I was asking him what he thought of
and he pointed out a few major factors I was not thing of. Without realizing it
my work deals with the relationship that people have with the environment and
nature. I am still like trying to figure out what all of this means. I think
without realizing it my science and art is connected I just did not put two and
two together.
As my critique group said I am
hammering at this geode that is my work with a screwdriver. I think that I found
the right rock hammer and I am starting to see a glimmer of the inside of the
geode.
