So now that the semester has finally ended and I have had time to sleep I have to start and finish my windgate nomination proposal. I think I’ve been avoiding it because I really reallly reallly would like it, and I’m sure everyone else nominated feels the same. I’m terrified of finalizing it because then its no longer up to me but up to the judges if what I want to do with the $15,000 is good enough
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’d want to do with the money, or simply what I’d like to do in art if money wasnt and option and this proposal wasnt even an issue. I’d deffinately like to travel and take glass classes to perfect my skill while still being able to produce photographs. Right now I’m looking at The Glass Furnace which is a craft school in Turkey that has a class taught by Chris Taylor who’s work studies ‘the journey’ how the mind understands it and twists it and how our mind affects the way we view the places we visit. He not only uses glass but also photo, video, sound, text, readymades, and sculpture. I think taking a class with him will not only improve my glass skill but his mind and ideas have a direction that I think we would both benefit from discussing.
I’d also like to go to the glass art society conference, to see the new up and coming ideas in glass.
thats as far as I’ve gotten but I’m deffinately happy with my decision to travel to turkey.
