The summer is off to a decently productive start. I need to do more. So far I've completed one mid sized drawing and am off to a strong start on a new suite of etchings. Both are going to appear in my thesis show at the end of next spring. As to research for my thesis paper, I've read one book by an art critic and am onto another which is a technical, academic critique of relativism and constructivism, which favors objectivism instead. Joy. I am just now beginning to get an outline going of what the paper is gonna be like, but I stress the 'just now' part of it.
No word on the press. I suspect the old man is gonna surprise me with it as a graduation present.
When the fall begins, I'm going to be taking a collobrative art seminar and an art history class on Mannerism. The in the spring, I just have to do the thesis hours, write the paper, do the work and set up the show. I'll be working on the pieces from now until then. If I can triple the pace I've been working at thus far it might just be enough time.
