allison sloan roberts

so i went to interview allison sloan roberts today.
a printmaker.
a canidate for her MFA at RISD.
she's graduating in May.
currently teaching a freshman course at RISD, but planning on continuing her education by getting a MA in musuem curation.

she was so informative, and really got me thinking about my own work, minus the fact that i'm not a printmaker...

but i could really feel that she could be a really good professor, collegue-- in the professorial sense-- but definitely an educator.

afterwards i couldn't stop thinking about my own work. how i feel like what she was talking about is exactly what i do.
just, she's better.
i can't help but say that, but clearly, see has a better sense of her work, of where and what she's doing, where she's going.

but then i couldn't help but think of her as a RISD student. as awful as that sounds. but there was some parts of her that sounds geniune and down to earth, but there was still a hint of pretentiousness. SORRY!!!!

otherwise it was a really good experience to talk to someone who is similar to my age, and really close to where i am in my education.

i have a lot of work to do!
