So January flew by and life in Davenpoop has not been bad at all. I was accepted into the 3rd Biennial Central Times Ceramics Exhibition at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. Zach and I dropped off my piece there on Sat, Jan 28th. The opening reception is Thursday March 1, so I will get some pictures from that once it gets here.

I am tired of entering shows and I need to get back into some wet clay work. I wish I was going to NCECA this year, but I am sure it will be in Seattle some time in the distant future. Texas sounds cool for 2013 but we are probably moving around that time so who can say what is really going to happen then.
I will soon have my new used car in a short 4 weeks, my mom is driving that up to me from Pennsylvania. Super pumped about that, cant wait to get back to Dubuque and into a REAL studio, not my coffee table and sitting on the ottoman. Although, that has proved more productive than I thought.
I guess I am thinking that I will probably apply to graduate school for the year of 2015, i think a good 5 years and I will be at a good standpoint artistically, emotionally and financially. I think that is definitley doable, and will give me plenty of breathing time, between my undergrad body of work and what my work will become between then and now. I also do not want to move every other year, it is comforting to stay in one place for more than two years.
I dont know where we are going when Zach graduates, but I have faith that good things are to come, and I am enjoying exploring the regions of America. just need to tackle the south, southwest, and west.
