Its hard to know how much or how little to talk about artwork in process. You know how it is. If you say all the words about your idea, why paint it. cause sometimes talking it all the way through can take away from the viewer's experience of discovering the concept inherent in the images. know what i mean? like those kids you used to know in art school that were all talk and no work.
well, i sketched through some ideas last night (art night) for Regeneration. I have two main inspirations that I'm working from. Concept wise, I'm considering the defibrillator. Image wise, I'm challenged by the paintings coming out of Indiana's MFA program. They're complex narratives of multi-figures in domestic interiors. (A painter friend I went to college with went on to school there. Check out his work: James Lipovac.) I love the combo of still life, interior, and multifigure in relatively deep space. its more ambitious than i worked for several years, so please, push me till i show my stuff. even if all i produce is an awkward mess. {teaching is good, because after you say words of advice about not being afraid of failure, you gotta back them up with action}
okay friends, who else is making stuff out there?
