Seminar
Day two of the MFA seminar, and am absolutely exhausted! We've had two days of mostly critiques and it is really draining doing so much intense listening and participating in really intellectual and passionate conversation. One body of work in particular packed such an emotional punch that I will be thinking about it for days.
The part one students (me!) have their critiques tomorrow. I am paralysed with the fear that my work is not Masters level work. Particularly given the quality of the work I've seen in the last couple of days. I know that it is pressure I have put on myself, but knowing that doesn't make it easier... tomorrow involves two critiques with our fellow students, facilitated by faculty, and then a third critique in front of a faculty panel.
Am looking forward to Tues and Wed of the seminar because all the pressure will be off by then!
