progress: pushing and pulling with graphite

(maybe pushed a bit too far, switching back to ink)

with this piece I’m cycling between articulation/delineation and destruction— 
marks are repeated until structure begins to form
each mark describes/contains the moments of its making 
as it seeks describes form
alcohol is used to destroy, degrade and dissolve the resulting structures
and the cycle repeats

(update: work starts tonight regardless, panel has been cut to precise specifications 16 3/8” x 72”)

re: earlier post:

still contemplating* the commissioned piece…

procrastination +
indecision
————————
lack of action

*I feel the most stress when someone says: “do what ever you want”, especially when followed by: ” I trust you.”

late night studio

(last night)
I have nothing left for tonight.
4 more pieces to make tomorrow in order to complete 80 works in 8 days.

studio this morning.
still working on atrium II 

I’ve been playing with these small scale maquettes / scale tests and studies for installation pieces (that my wife and I are collaborating on), and I’m really beginning to like the act of creating these things at the small scale and photographing them from inside. Initially they were not intended to be finished pieces (but rather a means to an end), nor were the photographs intended to be the end product, but there is something very satisfying about this process and the images that are emerging. I had always intended to take the pictures into photoshop and use them to mock up what the finished installation would look like in the proposed space, but I think I’ve accidentally discovered a new branch to explore— interesting new territory as much of my new work is dealing with light as an important element, I have been having to figure out how to reproduce lighting effects on a much smaller scale.Image: Kevin Townsend, mottled sensation (study III)
