_XPUB // highlights
from [illustrator] & [graphic designer] ▶ to [mixed-media] [artist, designer & facilitator]
_started using my illustration & graphic design skills for taking notes [now also on paper!], drafting ideas and concepts, observing, documenting, and keeping my references in handy
_started processing my visuals - playing with distorting, animating, and editing
_embraced my sound practice - went after my urgent need of working with sound and making that medium major in my practice + applied it in my individual and group work at XPUB2
... and started drafting a note with all the "great new practice things" i learned at XPUB and i want to keep in my practice in the future! <3
