things are going better up in Laton.
working with the kids was really grounding, once we began the sculpture process.
they are the strangest kids i've ever met, and i am beyond honored to be doing this with them.
i am leaving friday and will be in laton for 8 or 9 days straight, for the final push.
then on the spring equinox, march 21, we will have our celebration, "Reunion."
i'm totally excited. i think it's going to be great, and intense, and really, really, really rewarding for everyone.
my newest idea is to spend the summer in new york city, making money in a teaching art thing if possible, and hanging out with friends. i'm really excited about this possibility. i'll have a place to stay cheaply, and i'm looking forward to undergoing a sort of opposite city experience of los angeles, where the phrase "hot time, summer in the city" came from, riding the subway and checking out the scene. i will hopefully be able to set up a public art internship there for the summer that will fulfill my program requirements and kickstart the thesis part of this thing.
i wanted to bring some light to the last journal entry i wrote, which was written from a difficult place.
difficult it has been, but that thing is just within reach now, and i am feeling energized and thankful it is coming around to the kind of conclusion we have all been working so hard and abstractly for all these months.
love, faith
