Since getting into PNCA I’ve been spinning like a top. I’ve gone through about a thousand different emotions, most of them related to excitement and elation, with a little fear mixed in. The list of visiting artists who we’ll be working with this summer have been posted to the website. I can’t tell you how excited I am. The lecture series for the Low Resicency MFA program starts June 20. Check out that line-up:

I’ve been busy surfing the web and panicking about whether or not I’ll be found out as a fraud (Yes, I know I’m not a fraud, it’s just emotions). But seriously on the fraud front, I am a little terrified that my art brain has been hibernating while my mom brain has been loving up my daughter and i worry that some brain damage might have occured during hibernation. What if I don’t remember anything? What if I can’t make art after all? What if… just what if? what if? I know that I can do this. I know that I want it bad enough that any obstacles can be met. But wow this will be hard. Hard is good enough for me, but what about my sweet little girl? It’s going to be hard for her too. Yeesh, I can’t think about that right now. Thinking won’t solve anything at this juncture.
Oh, I got on the waiting list for the other school I applied for. Feels good to be loved. Both programs are very competitive. I kinda feel like a super hero. Shhh, don’t tell anyone I said that.
And so, upward and onward. I need to get back to work now that my textiles class is done. So I started three more imagined topo maps today. I also got some clay for model animation and some armature wire so I can start building some stop motion chops before school starts. I want to… nay, I have to hit the ground running.
