The Acorns are back
They help me figure out all the emotions that I never knew I had, they are relateable, they are my past, present, and future. They are my harlequin.

First Steps
Today I began to seriously take on the task of getting into grad school. I emailed the department for a little more detailed information regarding the twenty images I need to submit as my portfolio and began to choose the pieces I want to include. So far I have chosen fifteen pieces so I need five more. I am going to begin photographing them ASAP so that I can begin the application process. There will be pieces made in ceramic and bronze hopefully showcasing my range of mediums. And not kicking the craft to the side, I will include some polymer clay figures as well.

Bronze Casting on Monday, November 30th 2009
Seven of us cast our pieces at the Art Students League Vytlacil campus in Sparkill, New York.
You can see the work of art in the wax form in the previous blog and its just absolutely amazing to see the transformation from wax into the beautiful bronze. It is a metamorphosis of sorts as the light weight and flexible wax becomes the heavy, immobile bronze. The color is amazing already, my last piece oxidized and was blackened when it came from the mold, but this piece was shining. It was an emotional moment when she was revealed due to all of the expectations, the hopes and fears about whether the piece would cast. She cast amazingly well, the details on her face, hands, and masks is all present, the flashing is mostly on the sides and I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks to Oscar Garcia and the staff on hand who helped make this a success!
