Faraway Island

Here are some pictures from the show. If you find yourself on Nantucket in the next two weeks, come out to NISDA and see it in person! Anne's photos and my pieces work really well together. The reception was fun and everyone was super supportive. It feels good to make and show work outside of school. Big thanks to Duncan for being the ultimate problem solver and art installer.

Upcoming Show!

Summer on Nantucket is going by so quickly, especially with a rapidly approaching show deadline. "Faraway Island," my show with the lovely and talented photographer Anne Conway Jennings, opens this Wednesday, August 10th, at Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts. I was invited to show my work with Anne just two weeks ago, so I've been feverishly making new work, as I didn't bring much to Nantucket with me. Expect lots of lace.  

...And lots of stitching. This photo was taken three nights ago, and thankfully I've gotten a lot done since then. I feel like I'm getting ready for review boards at school with all of the late nights. I've been making things the whole time I've been on Nantucket, but nothing that I would show, just some pottery and fun little embroideries. Now I'm cracking the whip and churning out work faster than I knew I could. Deadlines are good for me.

Nantucket Life

It's been quite some time since I updated here, and a lot has happened. I graduated from MassArt (!), moved out of Boston, and am now on Nantucket, interning at the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts. Starting Tuesday I'll be teaching kids' fibers classes, but for the past week and a half I've been cleaning up the studios and making trips to the dump with the other interns. I forgot my camera cord, so all I have to share are less-than-glamorous pictures from my cell phone.

These pictures are not an accurate representation of Nantucket, but these are the parts I like the best!
