Spring Works in Progress
Spring cleaning for me is always a special time. Not only is cleaning one of the things that I do to sooth an oft-frazzled mind (with a decent beer, like Oaked Arrogant Bastard), but it also involves digging through all of my menagerie of collected proposed collage/art materials. While much of the work I've shown on this blog has been photographic, a large part of my art practice involves collage or found materials that are manipulated or re-contextualized. I find that playing with the poetics of objects is a great way to think about whatever topic is interesting me, even if I find my success rate to be significantly lower than usual with these projects. Though I'll be presenting some of the spring projects in small groups, Mel did point out, after staring at many of these hung in our work-in-progress gallery in our hall, that they might only really make sense as a big heterogeneous body. I guess the old joke about my work being something like a "one-man schizophrenic group show" holds true, even if I prefer the more dignified description of my work as being more like a sprawling research essay with many branching, converging and even contradicting ideas that explore a theme.
