Okay, friends, I’ve been working. I spent about 3 months trying to make this one piece work, shooting and reshooting, and struggling over an 8-foot x 12-foot piece that is now 11-inches x 11-inches. I now feel–finally–like the design for my October show has come together in a way that I’m content with. I’ll be finished with the final printing in two weeks, about two months before my deadline, plenty of time to sit on the idea and see what else might happen. I’ve sought feedback from several of my contemporaries, but would really appreciate your critical input or reaction. I’m trying to make work that appeals visually and conceptually to a wide range of interests, so whatever you might want to add to the mix is really appreciated…
Here’s a link to my mockup of the show, called Garden. (Follow the link to “Garden.”) It’s really about my obsession with a certain kind of body, trying to create a highly asetheticized environment out of it, repositioning this body as a force of nature as well as delight.
Let me know what you think. Thanks, gang!
