At the beginning of this year, my roommate and I began the conversation about exploring life outside of the Iowa City area. An area I had enjoyed for the past 11 years. A variety of possibilities were thrown out, with Denver, CO being the ultimate conclusion.
The following months were filled with job searching and apartment hunting. And, after a few plans fell through, I decided the journey was on.
An intense 2 weeks of uncertainty followed. The house was packed up and my belongings were stored. In the process, I had to say good bye to a few of my favorite pieces. So, in this section I say farewell to the pieces and places left behind.
Below: the residence I enjoyed for the past 3 years, both the abstracted leg piece from a sculture class and a ceramic basketball created in an Intro to Ceramics class. Also, Mark, without whom the storage process would not have happened.
Finally, the car with which I traveled cross-country twice, cross-mid-west more than thrice, and pulled a '______ Where's My Car?' moment in New Orleans. Goodnight Sweet Princess, and thank you for not dying on me when I needed you most.
With the rental car packed, I began my journey out west.
