Retreat reflection and other things



Here's a picture of some bottles I found. The design isn't really my kinda style, but I do really like all three shapes and I want to have some sort of bottle concentration this year.

I thought the retreat went really well this year. I had been wondering how fun it was going to be and also how much actual work I would be able to get done and I was pleasantly satisfied with how both of those things turned out. I think we definitely bonded a good deal as a class, and it was really interesting to hear Sarah talk about how her career is going and what its really like to try to make art into a profession. I had never heard of Andy Goldsworthy before but I found going out into nature, especially when your by yourself, is very conducive to art. I had a lot of fun moving and balancing rocks around into some sort of sculpture/shrine. Overall great weekend, thanks for giving us the opportunity to do things like this Amy.
