I am a sculptor who received my BFA from Kendall College in 2004. I came to GVSU to receive my teaching certification and realized that K-12 just isn't my thing. I am currently applying to graduate school for sculpture (it is a big pain) and I am excited about the possibilities. I keep really busy, I enjoy having about 25 things going on at once. Making art and talking about is my life. I work in a pottery studio as the kiln manager and I am also a nanny part time. My goal is to teach art on the college level and spend most of my time in the studio making my own work.

relink this as you find necessary...
Teresa's write up on the individual direction critique...
We have discussed the the materiality of your work is the most successful, and there must be some tactile element within the two dimensional reperesentations of your work.
I think that it is important for the illustrations to reflect the candy yellow so appealing and cheerful, which allow the imagery to be erotic and disturbing, without immediately alienating the viewer.
The chick-headed women are most successful when they have no arms, especially because they reflect the doll.
(You might consider whole shots of your sculptures (to document them) and treating the photoshopped women as a sort of Vanna White to them. Or perhaps they already are.)
suggestion to look at Richard Tuttle's work, since it deals with the "slipperyness between the real world and paint." He's on the most recent Art:21... (I found him annoying, though. -shrug-)
