Week 3: November 21 (End o’ the Month)

Printing and Install!

Welp. It’s been that kind of month! I’m really excited to share the final images of the install.

Printing was insane. Lisette and I knocked out the printing over one epic Thursday. We printed the works using “sludge jug gray.” At the end of every semester, students dump their ink into a communal container. It ranges in hue, but I was loving the color the came out this time- a sort of cool green-gray.

And install went pretty well! I attended graduate school in Tennessee, and so it was fun for me to spend some time in the South again visiting Louisville. We installed the work at the Hite Institute’s brand-new MFA building. (It’s beautiful! Studio dreams!)

Here’s the MFA Building, colloquially it’s called the Portland building because of its location in Louisville’s Portland building.

What an awesome opportunity! Thanks again to Rachel at the University of Louisville, Lissette for all her hard work, and SHE for hosting me.
