Finished and Finished (New Work and New Grant)

Finished and submitted, at long last, another art grant. This one is for artists in financial need. Huh.
I don't think I ever met an artist who WASN'T in need of financial help!  Crazy.

The Pollack-Krasner Foundation has been awarding grants for years. This is my second attempt and hope to secure enough money to fund a studio for 2 years. http://www.pkf.org/

Finished a new work yesterday and I am blown away by amount of work I have accomplished in the past few months. I have made 5 tea works and used almost every tea bag I had in my arsenal...about 5 or 6 years worth. Now I have to think about what's next. This new piece is a depiction of the year after I came home from serving in Ukraine as a PCV. Here is a link to the blog post that correlates to the work I call "The Year in Question Part 2 (127 Job Applications + 1 Interview = 0 Jobs)"

I have put together a text of all the jobs I had applied to (and didn't get) and transferred it to the tea bags I had used in first few weeks of my return stateside.
