Details from my first thesis critique: small prints, books, images of influence and process work. It went okay I guess. Lots of developing, writing and printmaking to do!
For my thesis, I plan on utilizing theories and aesthetics related to the cinematic apparatus, drawing attention to elaborate viewing constructs, illusion and realization, and Lacan's "Mirror Stage".
This is my book bag from when I first started reading in public school. My class and I were prompted by our teacher to draw our ideal reading spot. Mine appears to be sandwiched between two large monoliths, is equipped with a magma-red furnace and a skylight where the moon and sun are visible. The things that kids come up with! As posts go on, I hope it will be evident that I am still striving towards this personally ancient ideal.
