I first<\/strong> saw Jordan’s work at the Yale MFA Open Studios weekend of April 27-28, 2013. it was no<\/strong> random coincidence that I was there, (my first time at Yale, ever !!) the graduating class of 2014 was dynamic, with a capital D !! super super talented. super super intense. it was overwhelming, and I choose to post coverage of the 4 or so grad students I already<\/strong> knew personally from following their work – in the city previous to their heading to Yale. <\/p>\n

but Jordan definite made an impression, and I’m looking for a few of those early Yale photos – to post now !!<\/p>\n

ps: I later learned that each<\/strong> incoming Yale graduate class is chosen by a different<\/strong> set of professors, so that accounts for the wide divergence in the dynamics of each graduating class, and for sure whoever vetted the class of 2014 – did<\/em> a knock-out job !!<\/p>\n

\nJORDAN CASTEEL in her studio, Yale MFA Open Open studios, April 27-28, 2013.
\nJordan was in her first year of the 2 year program. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJORDAN CASTEEL, a multi-media piece featuring a younger photo of herself, entitled or notated: “as I approached . .”
\nof course the best part of visiting any artist’s studio – is seeing into their process, the works in progress, the inspirations, the . . notes !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJORDAN CASTEEL, this was one of my faves, a smaller piece . . but very ‘deep’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJORDAN CASTEEL, a larger painting, no holds barred !!
\ngreat technical infrastructure, beautiful surfaces, and gorgeous, gorgeous light – at play. great volumes to the body, etc etc.
\nyou could see the potential for sure.<\/p>\n

yep, that Yale MFA class of 2014 . . watch out !!<\/p>\n
