🌞From here on out, the comment “Looks like you got some sun today,” will always be accurate - no matter the weather. It’s just how my face looks now.

The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn.

You just can’t beat mornings on the farm.

Not a cloud in sight. (Unfortunately that also means I am the color of a ripe tomato🤦‍♀️)

@jeff_bilbro @iitsbekahb It was always a joy to learn from you! I am sad to see you go, but excited for your future students. They are lucky to have you!

I give you Exhibit A:
Maybe my apartment will just become a live-in gallery.

[Jodie @JoChilicote]

Well, graduating also means I lose my studio.
translation: I no longer have space for all my art!
So, if you’re looking to add something special to your home, let me know! Whether interested in work or not, could be a fun browse.

In this particular piece, the chairs and place settings represent people, the printed images on the border of the table represent memories. However, I acknowledge that a community is rarely whole; someone is missing, and they have left memories embellished on their plate.

Place Setting
My thesis exhibition is installed.
(I know how frustrating it can be not knowing or understanding an art installation such as this, so below you can find some thoughts)

During my time at grad school, my work has centered around community. I soon discovered the universality of the dinner table, and its connection to community.

[Jodie @JoChilicote]

As I contemplated community, I began to recognize that with community there must be loss - whether you move on from the comfort of your community, or someone in your community leaves.

@scout_dennings I appreciate your appreciation. I still get anxious even thinking about that day and the days following😅

Check out this interesting article in 805! Honored to have my piece, “Dusk”, paired with it.

Life hack: go for a walk just after 5. This is the time dog owners get home from work and take their dogs for a walk. You then will get the benefit of seeing a bunch of happy dogs, free of charge.
