Paper Cutting Parties!

Thank you! Thank you to all my wonderful helpers! I am so grateful for the support of friends and my ward family.

Christmas always come and goes way too fast. Visiting my family felt very relaxing and healing. Now, here I am back at school for a brand new (and my last) semester excited and motivated to do "all the things"! I can't let one minute slip  by unappreciated.

However, I have a serious problem. I injured my hand/wrist last semester with my obsessive paper cutting. I am going to need to employ help, which will shift my concept...or abandon this aspect of my project entirely and try something new (a very distressing realization to say the least).

There are several reasons why it was so important for me to painstakingly cut each and every letter of my project.

1. I feel liberated from the necessity to make polished art objects. 
2. I am increasingly interested in process over product.
3. Art is a means of learning and understanding.
4. Art is work.
5. I am striving to develop patience.

I went to the Provo Gallery Stroll this evening, because my friend Jena was showing. I loved the gallery space. It's run by current and former BYU art students Steven Waggoner and Annie Henrie. They're cool. They're art is cool. I also appreciated Clark Goldsberry's work. Provo kids should check it out every first Friday of the month.
