Fall Semester Over!!

Woo hoo! Made it through my first semester and I didn't do so bad! Received Honors Pass on my paper, comparing my practice to the work of Gerhard Richter, while discussing the theories of Roland Barthes' and his essay "Death of the Author"....whew!
Then I had my final critique with my crit group, advisor, and 2 visiting artists. I think it went over very well. I have some things to think about and work on, but I think Im going to rock the 2nd semester----with some work ;)

Here are the 5 paintings that I did in 6 weeks. The last one is probably more of the direction I will be going in. I am interested in creating a collection of "things", including paintings, that will explore a reverse or non-linear narrative that's about shifts in temporal space, memory, and historicity.

The works are large. The last gray scale painting is 6' x 9'. The others are a bit smaller (4'x5' and 4'x4')
