Dear Liz,
It has been a bit hasn’t it? I always kind of thought you would end up being a painter. I guess that is due in part to me thinking that everyone that goes to art school should be a painter if they have the chops for it. However as it turns out you have a talent for the dimensional.
I have followed along on your news feed with various incarnations of your sculpture and have seen them grow in concept as well as execution. I can’t help but wonder what they will look like when you have opportunity to devote all of your time to them, and not have the silly perfunctory school work to hold you back.
When we first met, you seemed just my type of school person. You had talent, and interest, but the school itself was basically an after thought. The “just take what I can and get out of here” approach to school. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I would have just stuck to it. I mean I am fairly comfortable with what I have chosen, but its seeing how your work has developed thanks to school and its environment that sometimes gives me pause. I wonder if some extra schoolin’ might have helped me as much. In any case I haven’t seen you in forever, and we don’t really associate on the Facebook anymore, so this has a kind of finality too it. But well, I am sure that it will be neigh on impossible to think that I won’t be seeing you again around town. If nothing else I am sure my various associates in the art world will be giving me updates when you start producing what I can only assume will be a mass of quality work.
It was a fun run, and I am hopeful that as time goes on we will bump into one another again.
Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,
Curt
