May 24, 2022 Image She/Her Junior, Drawing and Painting Patricia B Saunders Merit Scholarship $3,000 Duluth, Minnesota Describe the work you submitted for merits. I chose to submit a body of work that represents the current concepts I'm focusing on. Throughout this year, I have focused on the body, mostly mine, and wanted to show uncontextualized vulnerability through such. Why did you decide to come to MCAD? I chose to attend MCAD because of its location and because I wanted to better my artistic practices. What's next for your practice? Anything you're really excited to make? A big body of work! Hopefully a bigger install for Fall 2022, perhaps multiple. Favorite thing about college life (so far)? The ability to relax in my studio and to be surrounded by so many other talented artists!
