Photos I Was Too Scared To Post; January 2022 - Me and Cookie 🍪
	•	
Things I remember from this time ⏰
	•	Hungry to be in the studio
	•	Obsessed with sculpture, items, things, and needle felting (Thank you, Prof. Stephen Signa-Aviles)
	•	Curious why I had no room left in my dorm (problem will last probably a lifetime)
	•	Excited by light; excited by painting myself blue; excited by props
	•	
The practice of looking through my exercise has been helpful. I find that the more willingness I approach this page as a sketchbook, the more I look back at times when I was similarly fearless but just couldn’t press “post.” Alas, William of 2022, we have arrived. The archive, at some point, will be exorcised. 🧠

Endless love,
