I've been spending the break rethinking...and rethinking... my thesis. I felt even more lost after the crit than I did during the last semester. But you know, I've been pretty lost the entire time I've been here. Every time I think i'm on to something it doesn't work out. I'm really frustrated with the program and I feel like art has become less fun. I'm sick of it. So now I'm gonna do what I always do when I get fed up with something. Mock the shit out of it. Not so much the MFA program....cause i do want to get my degree to make it all worth it. But I'm gonna mock the fine art system and market. Because it's kinda silly sometimes.
I've decided to take a more design approach because I tried to be a painter and fine artist but let's face it, my skills and passion have and always will lie with design and illustration. And I miss design. It has a function and purpose behind it that isn't as pretentious as fine art.
So far, the plan is to do a series of silk screen prints. Mostly text based with some illustration/graphic. It will mostly be sharp witty statements about art or art related ideas. Little harsh sometimes and a touch of irony.
Still trying to determine the size and dimensions. I'm not sure if I want to do a classic poster size or a more unexpected dimension.
