I used to spend months and sometimes over a year creating small pieces. I have now developed the skill of creating in a much shorter time, and do multiple works per week.

I've learned that there are two major options in art school: Attempt to do everything to perfection and eventually sink, OR focus on one thing and perfect it while doing the bare minimum for everything else.

I always enjoy telling a good story. During this Foundation year I have met, collaborated and created stories with so many brilliant people. I hope I'm able to inspire people just as people have inspired me.

Reminder to my future self:
Do not take for granted the shared energy of learning, playing and connecting in the same space
Rethink your job if more that 50% of the work consists of being in front of a laptop by yourself
Whatever you're going through, art will always be a safe space for you to process and share you feelings and thoughts.

The theme for my academic year was intentional mark-making. It has made me a more thoughtful, caring artist and has extended into other aspects of my life. This semester has demanded patience, diligence, and understanding, and along with our curriculum it has taught us to be more generous and empathetic individuals. no matter our emotional, geographical or artistic differences.

Foundation year allowed me to meet many people from different cultures, which is exactly what I expected from my university life.
