i spoke a lot about my art process, specifically the materials and the way i apply paint. i also talked about my favourite artists/an essay i had written. what about you? x

Yours sounds great! I also wrote paragraphs about my practice details and mentioned a few artists here and there. so bad I hadn't come across the reading list until submitted. I think it'd be great to talk about extended readings or art theory that interested you in PS/interview.

Me too >_<!

My teacher’s advice: “Know your works well”
I was going to do some readings but I don’t think I can get them done before the interview lol. Besides I don’t think that is as important as knowing your submitted pieces well and being able to talk about them!

By the way, what kinds of recent work did you submit?

I’m the exact same with readings. I think it’ll be a waste of time and I don’t see a way that I can naturally bring it up during the interview.

I’ve submitted a range of stuff, like plaster experiments, a painting, research and a sculpture I did. They all link back to the same sort of idea, so hopefully that’ll help me talk about them better.

By the way, what day is your interview?
