All Done.
Fall term is officially over.
It's nice to be finished with all that fun stuff and now that I feel adjusted to Glasgow and the structure of this school I feel a bit more prepared for the projects coming up next term such as a public art project and possibly being placed in a professional practice for a little bit.
I am completely delayed on creating presents for everyone back home but I trust that eventually when my gifts arrive they will hopefully be worth the wait. It's actually really nice to be spending a holiday away from "home." I love my family dearly and will miss them but I've come to an understanding of knowing that you don't necessarily have to be present for people to know you care about them. I feel an unconditional love towards them and that is what matters. On thanksgiving I had the most beautiful conversations with my sister, brother and mom. I felt like we were so present with one another and there was such a strong connection it made me so happy to hear their voices and what they are up to on the other side of this world.
For my assessment I presented several videos that were each stage of my adjustment since I arrived in Glasgow, the first being escapism; spending hours on the computer attempting to make contact with everyone back home.
The 2nd one being displacement; everything seemed to be disconnected and at odds with one another, i felt like i didn't know necessarily what i was doing here it took me some time to find a balance and for things to resonate.
The third stage was connection, where I met certain individuals I could open up to and they taught me so much, including showing me around this city and helping me find myself here. Through this I was inspired to create and eventually have an emotional shift in the way I was going about living here.
My final piece, which was the 4th video was my 3-channel installation that I used for my critical feedback session. It was a reflection of my travels and all that I have taken in since I departed from the States in May, each channel conversed with one another through visuals that were sped up and slowed down, disconnected from their own audio tracks and eventually creating an atmosphere of time passing without one single narrative, drifting along and ending with a recording of the call to prayer that I heard five times a day when I was in Turkey. I am satisfied with what I created within this term but it all is still a work in progress. I have much to learn and many ideas to eventually do something about.
Well, I've rambled on long enough about my past creations.
love and cheers,
