I Think that i have finally chosen a "good" book. Its Helen
Molesworth's, "Work Ethic". The new work on the blog is in response to
this reading and a continuation of some of the ideas that were generated
in critique last residency. I'm thinking about labor in contrast to
artistic labor, weight, submersion, mark making and staying true to
materials that reference not only art history but construction. These
are primed panels of drywall that were placed end to end. I tied a
paint brush and a wrench to a piece of rope and submerged them in black
enamel house paint. I dragged these tools across one panel then placed it
on the next. In the white pieces i filled a can with white semi gloss
house paint and building materials and poured the mixture onto a panel. I
tilted each of them and let gravity take control of the composition.
