Book, the final product

I am very happy to have it finished. I wanted to showcase my artwork, so I kept the design of the book pages simple. I payed most attention to the layout of the pieces on the page, and the positioning of the text. As it is an informal venue for my pieces I did not include the size of the artwork. I wanted the viewer to get an overall sense of my aesthetic, and my interests. Enjoy.

Sibila’s Book of Textiles

Diving off the deep end

The first week of classes behind me, and still in a more than a bit of a shock.

A couple of months ago I innocently went to student services to snoop around and familiarize myself with the environment of this institution. Before I knew what I was doing, I registered for 2 summer courses. Not the best way to ease in, but , I figured I might as well. A day into each of these classes I realized the extent of kaka I’m in. My inner superwoman wakes up here, and tells me that I’m not dropping any classes, and that I’m going to just figure it out.

I’m super excited about all everything new I will be encountering, learning, making.

I keep in mind a couple of brilliant insights my weaving instructor at Cap, Ruth Scheuing, shared with me:

1) When you have less to do, sometimes you just do less

2) You are in art school to learn, explore and stretch, you are not expected to create your most brilliant work

I have been doing less for a couple of months now and am ready to stop.

Looking forward to all.
