met with aib comrade

fellow aib group one classmate, jan, came down to stay 2 days & attend an encaustic workshop nearby. we did dinner & went to numerous local galleries. it was helpful to share reflection on the first residency, talk about our current projects, readings & agendas for janunary residency. first residency was a whirlwind experience & taking time now with someone else that was in the same boat to discuss it was enlightening. while some of the discussion dealt with the social dynamics/events/exchanges, sharing critique feedback,learning/insights/epiphanies & comparing assessments on personal experiences with instructors helped us both.

in talking with her i get the feeling that i have bitten off far more than is tangible for one semester > i am trying to reinvent the wheel when i should just be focusing on recreating a spoke (break it down into smaller steps & digging deeper).
