With all these thoughts of either having a senior show, or proposing one, it's been running through my head what a show by me would even look like. I recently have come to a really great place in my work, and I know I'll continue in that direction, so if I can imagine a gallery filled with my work, it seems crazy.
My work has basically turned into a mix of sculpture and painting - some might call it installation, but it's not always that big. I've been making pieces out of dried paint, painted canvas, balsa wood, paper, and a mixture of other materials. I then take the piece and hang it on the wall, painting shapes onto the wall behind it, bringing it cohesively into a piece.
I think if I did an entire show by myself, it would involve the entire gallery, as one installation. I can picture it really well, but it's hard to describe. It would move across all the walls, and would involve different 3D elements either attached to the wall or hanging from the ceiling.
If you've taken a look at my influences, Frank Stella, Judy Pfaff, and Matthew Ritchie, you might understand a little better the context of my work. I'm doing a terrible job describing this, so let's just hope a show happens sometime in my future, and I can post pictures rather than words!
