the start of something new...

It feels nice to be sitting in the living room of my new home in New Brighton. I moved in last week and finally have all of my belongings unpacked. My new home is a townhouse that I share with four other girls! The five of us share two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen! It's small but cozy... and we love it!

On top of the moving in I also started working at my new job at the hotel, and had my first week of class at Bethel (18 credits! yikes) where I also work in the library. I am excited to start working on projects for my art courses this semester (sculpture and painting) and to learn more about current working artists.



Right now I am in love with the designs of Tara Donovan. I first learned about her artwork while taking a 3-dimensional design course and then this past spring was lucky enough to see some of her work displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The image above doesn't capture the piece in it's entirety (which spread across all four rooms of the gallery). This work consists of silver mylar tape. (google Tara Donovan to see more images)
