Here and Now: Residency Image

This image was created first night of the January, 2015 residency initiating semester two of year two of the MAAT program at SMWC.  The piece was to be completed in silence, while reflecting upon our intentions for the coming semester.  Last semester really burned me out, I was exhausted and stressed with the constant due dates for grad school added to my "regular life" responsibilities.  My intention for the coming semester was to try to be present, in the here-and-now moments more.  If I am with my family, focus on that present moment with family, try not to be thinking about looming due dates etc that will pull my attention away from the here-and-now.  So this image is me, focusing on and treasuring the moment.

Altered Book Images

The images above were created at the residency which initiated semester two of year two at the SMWC MAAT program.  The image represents me holding and aspiring to my ideals; the words are saying maybe sometimes we need to cut ourselves a little slack.
