Blah-dow
I did it. I did it. Yay, I did it.
(I submited work into the BFA open)
Its kinda not my style. Not in some punk ass kid kinda reject the establishment way. But, in a I am not sure whats successful and not kinda way. And thats becase, as I discussed in a crit today, I don't set up a sort of measure for my work. And I mean this measure to have a physical manifestation in the work. A hook, a nudge, a clue or a hint that harks back to the Big Idea about painting that I asking my work to make an exception to. If done successfully, I would know its done or something I'd like to put my name on if the internal conversation of the work is twirling in and around itself. You know, keeping you interested in its revalations.
So, in the floppy fabric pieces- irregular shaped or almost rectangular- I tried out some gromets. The plan was to have the gromets function as a sort of stretcher bar, as a sort of line in the dirt for me to butt my head up against. Seems ok for now... but hopeful the more I make, the more considered the decision will be.
