Class of 2021

In my first year at ECU, I learned more about myself than ever before. My previous education experiences were never so focused on the development of the student. In terms of my own art, I've become more aware of why I do what I do.

I thought my ideas were radical and beyond practicality. This year I realized that only radical ideas can lead the way to an unimaginable future.

Expected fewer leg cramps and more going out, but looking forward to designing a better kind of chair in the future + wallet is grateful. Highlights: good discomfort + starting of friendships I hope are not with advanced AI. Everyone attending classes at 4:00 a.m. + still able to make thoughtful conversation: you're absolute legends.

Foundation year has given me the confidence to express who I want to be as an artist and has given me the freedom to make messes and mistakes. Not everything needs to be my "good copy." New processes and something beautiful can be born from imperfection and the unknown

My dog and I learned a lot about art this year, don't tell Jamie but he actually wrote all my essays.

This year has been a strange combination of tremendous change and frustrating stillness.. The new perspectives, practices and experiences I've been exposed to during my Foundation year have both altered what was once familiar to me, and helped prepare me for what is to come.
