[how to handle large painting on the portfolio day?]

Thanks for this question, Emiemi.  I'd also love to know how people handle their large size work for portfolio reveiws.  Any insight would be great to hear!

[Applying to multiple departments at the same school (specifically Yale, Photo and Sculpture)]

I'd love to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this.  Is there any reason that it's not advisable to apply to two programs at the same school?  I consider myself more of a sculptor than a photographer, but most of my work is interdisciplinary, and almost all of it has some photo based component.  For example, my current work explores installations in the natural landscape, that ultimately will be shown through photographed images (and video) in the gallery setting. 

 

My top choice is Yale, and my true aim is to enter the sculpture program there, but I'm considering applying to photography as well.  When I look at the student work in the photo program, for one it's incredibly impressive, and much of it, in my mind, has sculptural elements in terms of process and content.  So I wonder if I shouldn't give it a shot, both to increase my chances of being accepted to my top school, and because I imagine my practice could fit quite well within either program. 

 

I'm wondering though if there may be a downside - if this may be taken as a lack of clarity on my part regarding my work and direction.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight!
