Que sera, sera

Woke up this morning with the sinking feeling that I woulda-coulda-shoulda have written my Personal Statement differently. It's the thing that will get me an interview before the admissions officer even looks at my portfolio. Garrrr! I definitely worry too much, and I can't stand the suspense.

Anyway, at the moment, I'm studying facial expressions (the final project hasn't really crystallised yet so I don't know what I'm aiming for... but it will come to me eventually). For starters though, I have my trusty anatomy book in hand so I can see what muscles of the face are involved in the making of facial expressions. And let me tell you, after several hours studying muscles and bones, I am really put off eating chicken for a while. Seriously.

So here's what I came up with yesterday in a coffee shop... the facial expression on this figure was unintentional but ended up describing my mood these days: trying REALLY hard to be patient and positive, and feeling really vulnerable at the same time. Or it looks like a meditating Zen Buddhist monk...

Until next time,

Kelise

  1. It looks like you would LOVE the bodies exhibit. It would freak me out. But you could probably spend days there drawing.

  2. in fact I *did* love the Bodies exhibit. You didn't want to go, so I went with Ed and Glen... also the exhibit hall smelled funny. That's all I remember...
