Studio Progress Update for Week of March 5th- 11th
This week, I spent a great deal of time perfecting the imagery for my postcard, in addition to working on my thesis paper. While I would have liked to get more physical work out of the way, these things needed to take priority, leaving me with less actual studio hours than typical for me. My postcard imagery is taken from the first lighting fixture stencil. I photographed it on a light table to ensure I was able to see all details through the stencil. This week took additional time to entirely rewrite my thesis. Because it has changed so dramatically since my first draft, I had to simplify my ideas and make them easier to understand. This week, I also spent time meeting with the curators for the final show. I have decided to show my work on north campus in the Slusser gallery. As I was drawing diagrams, it became clear that the Work Gallery would be unable to accommodate my needs. I am interested in showing the pieces in a dark place to ensure the viewers are able to see both the shadows cast by the pieces, but their extreme attention to detail as well. I have also decided that my pieces do not need the unnecessary and seemingly impossible addition of rotation for the pieces. Rather, I am going to have the pieces in the center of the gallery, allowing viewers to make full trip around them and see every side.
