“You will be judged (or you will be ignored)
Those are pretty much the only two choices.
Being judged is uncomfortable. Snap judgments, prejudices, misinformation… all of these, combined with not enough time (how could there be) to truly know you, means that you will inevitably be misjudged, underestimated (or overestimated) and unfairly rejected.
The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored.
Up to you.”

After lots of reading, struggling, writing a lot of essays and a lot of applications I am very excited for the next month. It will be filled with some amazing opportunities that I haven’t had since my brief stint of grad school.
In less than two weeks I will be at Headlands Center For The Arts. 7 intense days absorbed in the art making process, natural history lectures and field experiments in the Marin Headlands. Will be working with some very talented conceptual artists. More later.

A week after that I will be on scholarship at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado and will be working on a conceptual project and learning from Sanford Biggers. Here is one of my favorite installations of his recently on view at the Brooklyn Museum:

I have a lot of work to do and a lot of risks to take.
