Studio History College

continued from "Studio History Childhood"

6. In college, I returned to art pursuing my BFA. My freshman dorm room had a drafting table which I rarely used. My sophomore year I rarely remember on working on projects outside of the art building. Junior year, I got an easel that I painted my first oil painting on since childhood. I still have and love this easel.It was set up in my room at an apartment I shared.

7. My first senior year, I lived alone in a back house next door to an international family. They yelled a lot. I remember their grown son bringing in massive amounts of tvs one day. In their back yard was mounds of junk. The back house that I lived in was perfect. I was one small bedroom, had a little loft and an open living space with tile floors. I collected items that I found at junk stores on the side of the building. I made some of my best sculptural work at this house. 

8. The next year, I lived in Russia. I made a few drawings here and there. I got a nice camera at Christmas and spent the rest of the year taking photos to use as reference material for when I got home.

9. My final year of college I worked mainly in the art department on large scale paintings from my time in Russia. Otherwise, I worked on a video project where I used a question game (The Green Bag Game) to initiate with participants and gathering of found objects.
