i still can't believe it's april

There's only about four weeks left of school! I can't believe it. It's terrible and wonderful at the same time. I can't wait for the summer but I also love all my classes. I'm staying in syracuse this summer. My roommate and I have rented an apartment and I have a job in the Conservation Lab in the library. I mend the books on the special collections floor. It's really fun; I like it. So I'll be working hard. And I'm also going to an etching workshop in Barga, Italy for the month of July! I can't wait! I've never been out of the country and the whole time I'm gone I get to do printmaking.


I told you about the visiting artists last week, Dennis McNett and Chris Johansen. So the steamroller printing with Dennis went very, very well. I'll upload some pictures from the gallery show. We put all the prints from the steamroller up in the Coyne Gallery and had a barbeque/gallery opening. It was quite crowded-we ran out of food! All the print students helped Dennis put up his work and create a large tree sculpture in the middle of the gallery. We printed t-shirts and buttons with Dennis's prints on them. It's all skulls and wolves, very graphic. Overall, the event was a big success.




O and I'm posting a bit of my work so you can see what i've been up to.
