Leaving the residency in January, I felt that I wasn’t in that good a footing
with my advisor, Hannah Barrett, and then began to feel a little paranoid

Within my research papers this semester, I think I have been more cohesive
within the direction I am going. I enjoyed the diversity of studio exploration last
semester but the research undertaken in support of the body of artwork felt
incongruent. With the ability now to focus more, my research has begun to gird
program is different than any other educational pursuit that I have ever
undertaken in the past, and it has a feeling of an experimental project. The Blog
helps to view the semester and comparison of semester to semester, sensing the
breadth and growth that has been achieved. When we were told in Residency 1
to keep a blog, I initially balked as I am a person that thought would never keep a
blog. It can sometimes be lonely not having interaction with your colleagues in
this program, but the blog assists in sharing with each other what we are each
accomplishing. In addition to keeping my own blog for the program, I spend quite
a bit of time looking at others blogs and their progress through the semester. I
do though think some of my colleagues take it more seriously than others, and
the equity of the assignment to keep a blog is uncertain. The blog takes a
administration.
VIII. Closure
My hardwork this past year of two MFA AIB semesters, has brought me some

Artist Statement:
This semester my work has been devoted to the meta-narrative of women artists. I have
adopted the mission statement of the Guerilla Girls, an activist feminist group fighting for
the rights of women artists, past and present.
Historically, female artists have been historically written out of the art canon. My archive,
parts of which are complete and developing, allows the medium of stained glass,
through vitreous paintings on glass to present the heroines of art as patronesses of art. I
am embracing a concept from the sacred to the secular by utilizing a metaphorical irony
with both the historical traditions of the icon and traditional portraiture through the
symbolic nature of the medium of stained glass.
This developing archive presents the icons as honestly and forthrightly as possible to
convey the seriousness of my intent, as opposed to caricaturizing these heroines.
Through a metaphor of hypertext that is found electronically on my blog, the key to the
archive can be found and understood. Hypertext as a contemporary notion alludes to the
code and meaning of these collective images as a gestalt. It serves to tell the story of
women artists and their meta-narrative of generations, represented through the varied
intensities of glass, color and light.
