#fountainhead fellow

I'm so happy to be able to share this: I recently started a new visiting artist/instructor position as a Fountainhead Fellow in Craft & Material Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University! This is my official faculty photo... taken within 10 minutes of me finishing my drive across the country.

I arrived in Richmond at the beginning of August and starting teaching in the Fiber area a few weeks ago. The arts program (and people!) here is stellar and I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to take part in it.

I finally made it out to the Alvord Desert this summer to make this piece, marking time in light, that's part of a current series by the same name. Natural light has long been a major component of my work, but I've only recently begun to focus on its inextricable connection to time. Related to this, I'm reading Einstein's Dreams, a collection of short stories that describe how strange the world would look if the quantum rules of time were applied at human scale.

On another note, I just moved across the country! I live in Richmond, VA now and am a Fountainhead Fellow at VCU for this academic year. It's been a big change and I'm excited to start classes next week...finally!
