Writer's block

The post line is a bit misleading. I am not a writer, but I am having trouble coming up with a statement describing where I am now with my work. It's for an small exhibition at the place I went to college.
Looking around at my small studio-which is really a converted bedroom in our apartment- might have depressed me a few years ago. However, the reality of what it is to produce art in a city- or an adjacent suburb now- looks exactly like what I have. I am making work and showing at least a few times a year and that makes me happy.
Well, do I go with what I have here or compose a jargon filled account? Why am I even asking this question? I hate that kind of pretentiousness.
This is one of those instances I'm glad nobody reads this thing.

Damn technology

Talking last night to Caleb (Weintraub-guy I know from grad school), he recommended a book called "The Shallows". After having read the first few pages I feel as though I should be wary of what changes any technology, old or new, may have upon me and my ability to think. Is it overreaction? I don't know. But just like many other things in my life, I worry.

Two upcoming shows, I hope

I'm trying to get my work sent out to Denison University for an Alumni show this week. Shipping can be pricey, but I'd like to be in the show. Also hoping to get my work included in a fund raising show for Meredith Winer's Transit residency. Not sure how I might feel if my works sells. It took me a year to complete and I really like the painting. BUT I really like what Meredith is trying to do starting this residency.
