MOVING OUT and SENIOR SHOW

Hello everyone. Come the end of undergraduate fine art studies, I am going to officially be moving out of this blog and starting fresh, a new chapter, HERE. Basically, same deal, just a different location with my current email address. Please start following and changing links accordingly. This blog will stay up for reference but it will be dead and abandoned. Come to think of it, I will probably stop updating this after this entry. Last entry.

Above is my senior show invitation card. The show opens April 30th and May 1st in Hamilton Hall at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. My classmates and I would love to see you there. Until then, we will all be devoted to our studios.

getting there...


i don't enjoy when my outlet becomes the thing causing stress....

basic

thats me in the corner with michael stipe

poetry

raw

all that i am

forward

i forgot i already had a word for it

parallel lines

drawing repeat patterns. trying to keep the grid in my hand and 'wing it'.

i don't have many more words to throw out there.

i can give you all the visuals you want, though.

making music in Swimmingpool The Band is one of the few things I look forward to these days.

studio

back in the studio again. i'm back to simple grids and lines.

will upload pattern work from the last couple weeks soon...

aghast

Been thinking a lot about the phrase "I am without myself".



My cousins' children.

That is all...

dyad

Been thinking about tunnel perspective.

Individual vs. Independent.

Theological syncretism.

I hate seeing passionate people getting discouraged because they make excuses based on this estranged notion of human nature. Don't blame human nature. It is not universal.

Unfortunately, I am an example myself.

stimuli

Currently at my parents', taking a break(?), doing little besides watching the news, milking demonoid, reading, watching hockey, and eating pralines.

My sister turned 30 today.

My best friend had a baby this past weekend.

patterns of my senses

...

words

Have been working on the interlocking word patterns and coming to a lot of great conclusions...connecting what I am doing artistically to the theories of physics and quantum mechanics.

It is really important to understand, and always keep in mind, the relationship between sensory experience and the individual.

My walls are breathing with words. Every time I look to my left, I see something "finished" that failed. It proves that even when you create the rules for your own games, you can end up at a dead end with lost control. In keeping with the scientific method and scientific experimentation, one can't always be right...even when all the factors, laws, and rules are laid down for you. The distraction stopped working after page 3. There are 40.

the hunter gets captured by the game

I have finished what I have been calling Visual Puzzles...the third.

I think this one is getting at this idea of space as canvas and repetition of image as space in a more interesting way.

I have nothing else to talk about except for my art work these days.

infatuation

Non-silver prints I have been working on. Printed on cotton.



Above is a cropped photo of a printed yardage piece I've been working on. It is an interlocking pattern of the word..."INFATUATION".

My senior presentation went well.

I am getting the season changing blues.
