9/17 Anthony Kascak

I have been welding plastic and it's been really, really, really difficult deciding on what shape I want to draw out and inflate the plastic as.

I had a studio visit with Sean Morrissey the other day and he told me that I am not giving the plastic bags as much justice as I do with the touch and care I give my ceramic vessels. That was a really interesting way for me to think about how much thought and (as our readings have been telling us) how much uncertainty I have when thinking and executing these drawings through the soldering iron. What am I holding back on? What shapes am I trying to make and why? Another issue I am facing is the relationship between the ceramic vessels and the bags; why am I putting these bags inside the vessels, and are they entirely reliant on one another?

    + why?
    - in art, to me, it is like life question! WHY I am doing this is more challenging than HOW I should do that.

    + You said: the relationship between the ceramic vessels and plastic bag. How is it? is it conceptually? or visually?

conclusion

+ ask hard questions of yourself. answering them, you might need to sacrifice things which are hard to lose. + art production sometimes is just a labor. you work hard and think that it should be improved with practice. practice makes perfect. but, THINK more, do less sometimes is the answer. + you think that you think a lot. but the reality is that you are only an over-thinker. over-thinking means labor-thinking. no efficient result. a frustrating process. an obstacle. a hinder which prevents you from moving. + listen. think. learn. but simultaneously act. do them. do what you learned and what you heard. + trust your emotions. it is another motive existed in you. sometimes do something based on your emotion. + break the habits. forget. start.

Midterm_Artist Statement

The paintings are about my transitioning body and the static relationship with my family in and outside of a "living" space.   The paintings are an attempt to mend the distance between these two parties. This is both a symbolic effort to merge my life with the one I have left behind. I am looking for a balance for these themes and how they reflect in my paintings.

Shelby Fleming Word Salad

Word Salad   This week I spent sometime compiling all my notes from this semester and organizing them. I plan to, over break, do some in depth research over these topics, articles, and artist. Notes: ·          Amorphous body forms ·          Community of structures ·          Devotion to labor ·          Jason Stopa: “body as a theme to carry the weight of concepts” o    Dana Schutz “bodies provocative deformed, dark undertones, slippage ·          Link art to community engagement ·          Tension between hand and digital fabrication ·          Vertuious space/puriton view of making ·          Mirror transforming viewer ...
