I’m currently in Florida on vacation with Brandon, so today’s post was written before we traveled to Pensacola. Rather than take on new readings or other research, I decided last week was a good time to pause and take stock of what I’d done since completing the prospectus, both to see what I’d learned and… Continue reading Dissertation Work, July Update

Artwork, June Update
Last month I told you about my recent interest in making jewelry using intaglio prints I had made on paper clay, and the potential I thought it had in pushing my creative practice into wearable or practical objects. Today, I’ll show you some more jewelry I’ve been making, this time featuring cyanotypes. First, a little… Continue reading Artwork, June Update

As with last week’s post on my dissertation work, a lot has happened with the Motion/Emotion exhibition since my last check-in, so let’s get caught up. More specifically, I’ll be sharing three exciting developments that have happened since June 1st. Two of those events took place last week. On Monday, we filmed the Barry Art… Continue reading Exhibition Work, June Update
Dissertation Work, June Update
It’s been a busy few weeks since the last time I talked about the dissertation, so let’s get caught up. Following the approval of the prospectus and sketching out a tentative working schedule, I started reading more deeply into nineteenth-century mobile visual culture, including panoramas, magic lantern shows, and peep shows. Aside from learning more… Continue reading Dissertation Work, June Update
Space Between 2021
Back in 2019, I wrote about attending my first conference with the Space Between Society. It took place in Brookings, South Dakota that year, and I had a great time. I got a lot of positive feedback on my research, and had the opportunity to connect and network with a variety of excellent scholars, many… Continue reading Space Between 2021

Today then, I’ll take you through the redesigned website and its new features. Unless you’re the 1996 Space Jam website, it’s generally recommended… Continue reading Website Redesign
Grad School Stresses: Accomplishment Pressure
I’ve spent a lot of time on this blog talking about how the years I spent working as a curator have made me a more confident graduate student. While I may feel more comfortable with my strengths and limitations, that doesn’t mean I don’t experience insecurities altogether. Today then, I’d like to talk about what… Continue reading Grad School Stresses: Accomplishment Pressure
Artwork, May Update
It’s hard for me to believe, but I first learned to make prints nearly ten years ago during the summer of 2011, when I took an introductory workshop at Burlington City Arts. I had recently arrived for my curatorial fellowship at Shelburne Museum, and was going to be working primarily with its fine art collection,… Continue reading Artwork, May Update
Exhibition Work, May Update
On the research side of things I’ve been looking at catalogues for recent exhibitions about robots to get a sense of what other museums have been addressing and, just as importantly, not been addressing. Earlier this year I looked at Robot Love, curated by Ine Gevers, which explores what robots can teach us about love… Continue reading Exhibition Work, May Update
