I started this week expressing my frustration with my work - and now, after a good week of progress and new ideas, I'm ending the week somewhat down, on another note of frustration. I have to produce a small work (or two) for a group show at the end of the month, but my new ideas all seem to be so epic - they either involve large fragmented pieces, or multi-paneled works that could fill a gallery on their own.
I am excited about exploring the idea of painting as performance with a serial approach to an image, painting each of the various transformations of an image that result from my ink print process. My photographs then become a documentation a "happening" of sorts - as if the image itself is in the midst of a performance. I'm sure there are video ideas to explore in there somewhere as well - but I still have a couple little paintings to make. And SOON.
