This project for me illuminated the inner workings of process and practice, and ultimately by the end, through necessary frustration and confusion, I had a better grasp on the mechanics of making and bringing ideas to fruition. Previously I felt…

My Conference project began with me reflecting on past experiences throughout my life and joking with a few family members about those experiences.  I have dyslexia, a language-based learning difference.  Growing up, I would often, and still to this day,…
