Yesterday marked the first meeting of my independent study in Advanced Sculpture and New Media Installation. I screened my second version of Memento Mori, which startled both my Professor and my friend Jen. It went well, but needs more work. I really wanted to hit the ground running and hit a wall with my project and did just that. I do not have any pictures of my work yet, but I plan on shooting a couple photos this upcoming Friday or Thursday. We discussed a lot yesterday, the conversation spiraled slowly into themes of death, duality, self-portraiture, and how art maybe directly influenced by personal things from the artists past even thought that may not have been what the artists was getting at the information about the past carries with it significance that the audience may not notice.
I'd like to mention that I'm in this independent study with another student at Lawrence, Jen Gabriele, although we are working on separate things we still meet together to discuss our work, critique one another, and provide staggering amounts of moral support. That last part is a bit dramatic, we typically carry our selves well, "typically."
I made a mental list of things I would like to have done by next Monday. Setting goals for yourself can be daunting at times.
1. make case for t.v.
2. cover box in formica
3. add door
4. essentially finish Memento Mori (the name of the sculpture!)
5. meet with Prof. Lindemann and Shimon on Wednesday
6. have a revised bibliography with added artists
7. roughly hammer out conceptual ideas for Seven Deadly Teddy's
8. create a maquette for Teddy T.V. and brain storm a digital short prehaps
9. a blog post with a link to my digital shorts on youtube, and an entry explaining them
