March 2010

As I move forward in my last semester at Vermont College of Fine Arts into the production of my thesis body of work (and hopefully beyond), I want to respond to the following questions:

What is work? (How has work changed historically?)

What is our (cultural) relationship to work? (Why do we work? How is work measured and who measures it? How is it valued? How do you proved you've worked? Is work necessary?)

Above is a venn diagram drawing. I made this drawing (and others) as a means of trying to answer some of the questions listed above. Additionally, I'm creating short videos of myself working so that I can produce a personal definition of the word work.
