New Chapter

Now that I am done with my education at RCC - I must continue. SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN!!!! I've used the summer to move to the Great City of Chicago! I've applied and got accepted into the most amazing School. School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). This journey has been a growing experience for me to say the least. O - the mountain I've had to climb to get to this point. God has paved the way, no other way to explain how I got here. He funds me, comforts me, secures me and sends me. I only obey.

In other news: Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has accepted me as a scholar. This is a wonderful organization, a wonderful community of support. I am so very blessed to be a part of this family.

Orientation is this Saturday-Tuesday. I start my first class Wednesday - O THE ANITICPATION!!!!!! I cannot wait!

The boys also return to me next week. I am busting with joy just thinking about our new life here. They are also attending a fantastic school in the South Loop. God is so good to us - to him be the GLORY!

...its complicated.

This is my latest and greatest - I must fore warn you - it is not for the light hearted. This final piece is one that is personal. I met with an SAIC representative last August and he told me that I needed a final piece that was personal - he stressed that it had to have some part of me in it. So I took everything he told me and worked on this final piece over our winter break. It is filmed over the spoken poetry of Kevin Max, a former DC Talk band member (Christian Band) who now does bible readings along with poetery. It is deep and very near and dear to me - enjoy! (... or not enjoy.)

This semester I am taking a Portfolio Class.
Good thing I've been keeping up with my work and have already submitted my portfolio to SAIC. check it out:

For this video, my brother David Inthisane bought a brand new camera. It was a friday night, he was excited about the new glass HD lense that had arrived. I said, "ok - come over," so he came over and started taking pictures. I said, alright take pictures of my work. Nothing was set up - the lighting was perfect. I started pulling projects from my closet and he just started shooting. There they were, images directly from my bedroom. An hour later, he went home. I breifly explained to him that I admire the work of Lauren Greenfield, and I show him her site. I told him I like the still shots incorporated with live video. I told him I like the beat and the music. He said - ok, I'll see what I can do. Saturday eveining he called me up saying he'd been working all day on putting together my video; all day long...here is the final product.
