Moving means. . .

Moving means: changing place, arousing deep emotion, a transfer.  Books

I am moving, from a summer work project at the Nasher Sculpture Center, to a one-year internship at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.   I am excited to move, I like the feeling of starting over and the excitement of re-decorating a new place and really looking at my posessions, I seriously thought about whittling down all my posessions to 100-things, but I just love books, I have a lot of fantastic books about: photography, sculpture, ancient cultures, feminism, contemporary art and artists, and whenever I visit someone for an extended period of time in another part of the world I like to buy a children’s book they remember, hopefully one that is popular enough to be translated into English. I am also fortunate to have a fund from my university to buy books, which means over the past two years I have bought numerous conservation books, I have made the fund last as long as I could, reaching the end of it just last month.

I am leaving behind all my furniture in Wilmington, Delaware and taking my beloved books, some clothes, and maybe a few kitchen items and driving from Wilmington to Kansas City.  I am excited to begin this new chapter in my education and my life, I am looking forward to the possibilites that await.
