“How much do you make? Have you
ever contemplated suicide? … Electrical information devices for universal,
tyrannical womb-to-tomb surveillance are causing a very serious dilemma between
our claim to privacy and the community’s need to know” (McLuhan 12) So I guess
I should tell you about myself then. Hello world, my name is Eryn. Currently I
am a student at Lawrence University studying mathematics and studio art. With
the combination of the two, I spend a lot of time in the studio or in a room
with a chalkboard. Which to be honest, I don’t really mind, I like the smell of
chalk and saw dust. Outside of the classroom I am a member of the swim and
track team along with Greek life in Kappa Kappa Gamma. I’ve been swimming as
long as I can remember and has become a big factor in my life. My friends joke
that I am more coordinated in water then on land. Although I live in Appleton 9
months out of the year, Omaha Nebraska is where I call home (and yes I have
heard every Nebraska joke there is). My mom was an artist in college and was always
doing art when I was young, from painting at the zoo, or on the beach. So I
guess art has always been around in my life. However, it wasn’t until High
School that I seriously thought about art. I mean I always enjoyed it, but it
was when I finally got some formal training that I started to appreciate art
more. At that time I did mostly drawing until I got a digital camera of my own.
Now it has become a huge part of me as an artist, not the only part of me but a
part. The rest of me I guess I’m going to leave you to figure out.
Hi Eryn,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your blog, including the part where you admitted you've heard every Iowa joke that there is around :P I think it's great that you included your artwork in your blog. I really like the painting of the picture/sefie of you, that's my favorite. You share many different sides of yourself on this blog but keep many to yourself, and I think that really ties into the McLuhan quote that you included. Keep up the good work!!
