This past week I was able to combine all the different projects I am working on into a cohesive statement. This post includes a quick update on three of my latest projects.

1. The Sketchbook Exchange has grown to about 40 total participants in two different groups. The first group is the online exchange done through Reddit (Which is located here). Last night I started an exchange locally in Chapel Hill with 24 participants. I can not wait to witness others enjoying this process and experience.

2. I have continued my daily ink drawings like these ones:

Drawing these daily has inspired me propose an exhibition based on habit and routine. Right now the idea is based on The Power of Habit by Duhiggs, and I would like for it to be a group show, including artists that use repetition both conceptually and visually.

3. My mailing paintings were shipped to two patrons this week (examples can be viewed here). I am excited to keep making more, and send these paintings to people as gifts.

These three projects will aid my thesis work through different methods of exploring exchange in art.
