We tried to keep them light and fun, without too much overhead. At the end of each visit, we'd schedule the next one. We're trying to create a casual and supportive vibe.

What a great studio visit! I really enjoyed the great discussions around your work. The work that really stands out for me are "champion", "pieta", "respite", and "overcome". I also really love the graphite works. I wans't sure if you'd be painting over that? But I hope not! They are so simple and beautiful as they are. Also, I was just looking at the "ready to rumble" card, and had a crazt thought that it would be AWSESOME to have larger prints/posters of that made up? with the wording and all. ?? maybe ?? I totally would be an awesome poster to have to sell at your shows! Well.. I can't wait to go to your next opening featuring all this great work! :0) Emily!!! What a great studio visit!

There was a lot of energy and we might even have had some trouble focusing (it actually felt like we were all high on caffeine, I was surprised how rowdy it was!), but I agree with Anahita that your work has made such an amazing progression. You pushed yourself and got to somewhere really different with this work. I hope you won't take any comments I made in a negative way, I hope they were taken as a suggestion to keep going. I really loved that new one you're working on. The complexity of it was so exciting, the struggle, the contrasts, and of course it had an emotional charge as well. I think these paintings say a lot about your growth, the bare flesh is particularly striking to me as a metaphor for your openness to changing your process, playing with your "formula," and striking out into the future of your work.

It was nice to see her turn a corner in technique. My favorite thing is how she sounds like an engineer when she explains her process :D The new works from Emily looked very juicy.

I don't know why I didn't see these comments sooner, but thankyou so much for all the accolades! I thought the studio visit was great and I really appreciated averyone taking the time to come out to queens and talk about the work. I can't wait to schedule another one in a few months. I'm still settling in to my studio at Brooklyn College, and when I get some new work done I'd love to so another visit. Beth, I think that posters would be GREAT! HI Guys!
