My current artwork is inspired by Lindsay W. I felt very sympathetic to her current situation because I am contemplating leaving my current teaching situation as well. Due to the stresses of my district, I was inspired to make art that is meditative–like Lindsay W. states. The past week, I have been doing art that achieves that state of mind for me. It has been very helpful, and I think it will be what saves me this year. Currently, I am taking an analytic approach to my own studio work and just working with very systematic, material approaches. I was researching some artist for one of my students projects, and I found the artist Maud Vantour. I fell in love with her paper sculptures, and I have been pursuing this approach to create my own forms of meditation as well as to represent meditation. I took the idea of paper sculpture, and Islamic/Mughal designs to create designs. I hope to eventually layer the papers as heavily as Maud does.
