One week down, two more to go! It has been a great experience so far at the Vermont Studio Center. My fellow resident artists and writers are all very talented and supportive people, the food has been great, and the weather has actually been very mild (but that is about to change in another day or two!) Coming into this residency I set a goal of wanting to make 50 new collages, and after the first week I have already made 43, so I am well on my way to blasting past that arbitrary finish line.
It will be challenging to keep up the interest in making new work each day, as at home I tend to make artwork one day and then may set away for a few days, so doing this almost every day for several weeks will be difficult in unexpected ways. That and the fact that everything in this state seems to close up by 8pm each day!
