In 'Wendy, Master of Art', Walter Scott's sly wit and social commentary zero in on MFA culture as our hero hunkers down to complete a master of fine arts at the University of Hell in small-town Ontario. Finally Wendy has space to refine her artistic practice, but in this calm, all of her unresolved insecurities and fears explode at full volume usually while hungover. What is the post-Jungian object as symbol? Will she ever understand her course reading or herself? What if she's just not smart enough? As she develops as an artist and a person, Wendy also finds herself in a teaching position, mentoring a perpetually sobbing grade-grubbing undergrad. Scott's incisively funny take on art school pretensions isn't the only focus. 'Wendy, Master of Art' explores the politics of open relationships and polyamory, performative activism, the precariousness of a life in the arts, as well as the complexities of gender identity, sex work, drug use, and more. At its heart, this is a book about the give and take of community about learning to navigate empathy and boundaries, and to respect herself. It is deeply funny and endlessly relatable as it shows Wendy growing from millennial art party girl to successful artist, friend, teacher and Master of Art. 650 0 $a Artists $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Graduate students $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240302012022.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210512010112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BBF93878047611EB89AE83802EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
