Studio Journal- Entry #4

Although brief, the last crit with my thesis group proved very helpful.  I've really picked up some steam

I guess hearing that it just wasn't working got me thinking.  The work was missing the awkwardness and droopy character of the more successful work in the same material.  So the big, sprawling piece I was stuck on was kinda lifeless, void of all the charge  that drew me to the material.  I needed to find a way to bring the animal/human presence of the skin turned to leather turned into clothing back.  Because the presentation of the work as it was during crit was saying nothing to the nature of the material other than calling attention to the fact that it was disassembled clothing.  Boooorrrriiiinnnggg.

So, yea, I think I found a pretty acceptable solution.  I guess I'll find out in my next crit.

Here are some pictures of what's going on now.
