My Brain Won't Stop

At the risk of people reading this...I'm laying many things out.

Well, spoke with Maryam, looked at the layout of the gallery. That's 74 feet on the one gallery wall, 74. Anywho, starting to plan. I've got the layout to the painted set and ideas for two more larger paintings and several very small ones. 

My immediate to-do list:

Keep working on existing paintings
-purple needs to have more shifts in hue in For Elizabeth

-model the pool, diff hues

-tape needs to have bits of saturation --white is too easy and distracting

-change pieces in saturation, hue, and not just value. Flat/marky like in curtains

-maybe add in what he makes the dominos from on the table saw?

-Dominos don’t feel resolved --may differ in saturation and temperature, set them up?

-take the oddness further

-Pay attention to my own process of imagining and building. Try to reveal something about the creative process

-Look at paintings that are made up and how I know they’re made up, to reference

- Keep writing stories

- Purchase wood for bookshelf/coffee table

- Begin Henry painting

Lamps (1 Floor, 1 Table)

Construct lights weird enough to contribute something to the Painted Set

--Building gives the chance to make them look less standard --what can I gain from the forms, etc?

How strange do I want them to be?

The thing that sheds light, what light is, cold, warm, what that might mean. Making isn’t just making. We think through the process of making

What does this lamp or this object remind me of? What do I associate this with?

Maybe with a goal of,to make something that looks like something, but I can’t quite pin it down

Questions for my paintings:

-What do I want to tell you about the process  of how things are born?

-If something is not making sense, I need to be asking why?

-Things seem somewhere between stage set and imaginary construct..It seems like visualization that happens in the author’s mind. What happens first in my mind?

      It’s def an additive process

How do I introduce the question in the writing into the painting? Maybe that goes into reading what’s depicted which is in the imagination?

Goals?

Depicting the author’s creation and its relation to the visual

Telling a narrative without a person...I’m going to have to push through

It represents a backdrop, it represents a sky

Painterly painting in Walter --try to emphasize things that only painting can do. My handwriting as a painter

Otherworldliness in lighting --flat

Pros

I like that they short story intros are cut off --where I cut them off becomes important, where is the question?

    I’m grabbing people’s attention by immediately asking a question. And Preciousness/Crap in curtains

Painted books

Convincing chocolates
