Only 8 more days at Vicksburg Library
I am moving to Chicago on July 28th to begin my Masters in Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I will be moving to the Edgewater neighborhood very close to the beach … very exciting. My kitties are excited, too. And although I will miss Don (staying in Kalamazoo for now) and my friends terribly, I am so ecited to be moving into the art world again, submerged like a shipwreck of beautiful life.
I will also miss library work, especially work with young people, but it is time to move back into what I believe my purpose to pure contentment is — Art.There was a sweet article in the Vicksburg paper (with an old, horrible photo of me!I look better now that I am happy and medcicated!).
Don will be coming to visit most weekends … the kitties and I will miss him so! My parents are freaked but excited … so that is how I know this is the right thing. That is when parents have such a reaction, when their child is seriously truly becoming a contributor to the world. And I am confident I will be contributing art, poetry, and scholarly work — obsessively I am certain …
The art criticism book I am working on now discusses several contemporary women artists — Lisa Yusavage, Hilary Harkness, Marlene Dumas, and a couple others — still thinking. If any of you wonderful women are reading this — just in case you’re reading this — respond and let’s set up interview possibilities.
Goodbye, Michigan. Hello my urban orb …
