Changes

I've come to realize that the Art Department here at UCSD has a fervent disposition for the "conceptual" hemisphere of art, which leaves a lot to be desired with the equally as important "formal" hemisphere. I've decided to roll with the punches—to absorb as much as I can with my time here and hopefully attend a graduate program that balances this out. I'm mostly interested in representational work and involved with traditional practices like illustration, painting, sculpture and design. Although I incorporate digital technologies like video and photo editing software, I’m aware that they merely become a substitution for traditional processes. Time and process in digital media is a fascinating new venture for me but my current aspirations for nurturing my few strengths and many weaknesses, particularly within illustration and design, take precedence over setting sail towards these uncharted waters. That’s not to say that it isn’t a journey worth taking though. I just haven’t found my bearings for it yet, if at all.
