I had the opportunity to have a studio visit with an artist named Kyle Peets this week ( http://kylepeets.com/ ) and thought I would reflect on some of the things that came up during that visit. We talked about failure being an underlying theme in much of the work, not failure in the creation of the work, but failure in the usefulness of the objects and systems that I have assembled. I’m going to spend time analyzing the use of failure in relation to myself. We also talked about the idea of the one liner in my work which is also a critique he has received in the past. I wrote down a quote from him… “What's the harm of a one liner in the context of a paragraph”. I’m going to continue exploring framing my work as a whole and letting one liners enhance and add interest to or engagement in a broader conversation.

This week i meet with Marc Mitchell to go over the body of work I'm working on. I posted progress shots of the most current painting in progress. The canvas fabric is sewn together. Today I sewed together the next painting. I found the composition can be served by the channel created by the sewn line. It adds onto the effect of "pieced together." This piece seems to be more about personal placement within the home; my home. I feel this will only serve as a metaphor for disjointed gender. But in the context of a home, then traditional gender roles come into the forefront. That's not what this is about... This project is focused around my gender identity in and outside of a "living" space. Writing more about this will help me focus on what needs to happen for the works to be finished.
