Middle School Cliques diamond I lead the viewer to

I lead the viewer to what I want them to see through color

it clings to its granite base with grit and endurance

It was such a whirlwind as we jumped from activities to meals to hikes

This time of change spurred the idea to incorporate last fall's and this summer's cyanotype prints into two large grid paintings

watching them blend and dance

Middle School Cliques diamond I lead the viewer toFor middle school, I transferred to a new school and found the whole experience jarring. Gone was the small classroom with friends Id had since kindergarten. My new school seemed huge, with changing classrooms and teachers every hour, and strangers all around. Middle School Cliques is my impression of those first weeks, with the world around me so gray and frightening. Even the kids seemed alien as they clustered into cliques by some unknown method.
