I put in a piece for the Chance show that I made last year. It was a photogram and although it has everything to do with the theme of chance I'm not too thrilled with it. I felt a little rushed and pressured and I didn't know what to put in so I chose that piece. I really would have preferred to put in a black photo of mine (done on luster paper) but I figured the glare from the lights would just make it reflective and you wouldn't be able to really see the image. The photo I put in is kind of small, 13 1/4 x 11 inches, but it was done by dipping the paper in developer, moving the liquid around so it dripped off of the paper and then exposing it to light and then putting it through the regular developing process. So you can see it's 100% chance based but it's a so-so image. I wasn't looking to gain an award from this show, I know that sounds terrible, but I am really caught up in what I want to do for thesis, I'm still quite lost, so this show was just a nice pause, not something I really intended on shinning in.
On a lighter note, I took my professor's advice and I put my thesis ideas on flash cards. As I was going through all of them and writing them down I did some editing and it felt great! I have a few ideas I am really gravitating towards, however I'll leave them hush hush for the time being as I feel that if I mention them too much I will grow bored of them, which has happened with a lot of my ideas so far. However I will say that I want color to be a part of it, particularly orange, Larry Poons/Imi Knoebel orange :)
OH! And one more thing, I loved my group's curating job! Our two rooms are going to look incredible and fresh! We worked so well together and our ideas meshed perfectly! I can't wait for Friday!
