Today, my heart is in New York City. For me it is both puzzling and clairvoyant to look back and try to understand the things that have touched me deeply. Two of the lovely women I was able to connect with during my week with Rodney Smith in the spring randomly messaged me last night and it brought back a flood of emotion thinking about new friendships, lessons learned and my time with them all in NYC. If there was anything that helped me grow this year it was hugely a few tiny (and in hindsight huge) takeaways from the critiques with Rodney, the observation of the amazing artists I shared that week with and the general ambience of that week. I still haven’t shared much of my work from that week as it’s oddly sacred to me. Maybe this winter I will slowly share more. For now, I’ll think about New York.
I always miss NY in the fall and this year more than ever for some reason! These images are beautiful, I cannot wait to see more!
