April 2010

In this last semester at Vermont College of Fine Arts my life has become a series of to-do and have-done lists.

To Do:

-read Arcane of Reproduction by Leopoldina Fortunati

-read The Right to be Lazy by Paul Lafargue

-buy salt for new works

-collect other materials, do experiments

-finish first draft of process paper, opening statement and artist statement

-continue images for the Permutation of Congealed Labor series aka "ghost cubes" (this will be an on-going series of images in continued exploration of labor's 'tedium of repetition')

Have Done:

-read significant portions of Art Workers by Julia Bryan-Wilson

-created a nice group of images for the Permutations of Congealed Labor series

-embossed some lint cubes with words or parts of words

-created a mock-installation of works

-finished two "infinity cubes" (but I still need to title them)

-read The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work by Alain de Botton

-re-read Mythologies by Roland Barthes
