Cutting Time

Just a random update on my SGABF2024 stuff:

I’ve actually been printing and test printing different things. Some are about done, and others are still in the works. It’s honestly quite frustrating how long some of the processes are. There’s a lot of adjustment for printing RISO, so I’ve had to adjust multiple times, just to get some prints to align properly. I understand the price of it now, because it really does take quite a lot of trial and error to get everything just right.

It feels like I’m in school again, and rushing work. There’s the sense of panic, but at the same time it’s moments of mindless cutting, or just folding my life away. Or just the frustrations as well, when the prints don’t go as planned. It really makes me recall moments of the past, and how it was So Frustrating, trying to get these things out.

It also totally reminds me to keep humble, when I talk to students about their work. I forget sometimes the amount of hurdles I had to jump through to get good at something. I’m remembering now for sure.

Back to cutting now…
