I will produce a body of work for a solo exhibition and for applications to specific shows and residencies within Minnesota. The deadlines for the applications will provide a set schedule to finish work by. Personal deadlines set ahead of time will aid in my evaluation of the progress of my body of work. 2: Enhance my studio by purchasing an oval kiln. This oval kiln will aid in the production of my larger sculptures.
