I have been on a few ideas for proposals. I also am slowly re-visiting the Sweet Tooth series after hitting the wall when my dad passed away. I know I have mentioned re-working the concept of some of the silk-screens. I also presented the work I have completed to Rhoda's theory class on Monday night and it was great to get new opinions and feedback. They have me re-thinking some of the finished work and instead of forcing the medical paperwork I brought back into some sort of book, they agreed it is more powerful if I present the unopened box. I told them I have been unable to open it since mailing it to myself and all of the feelings attached to it's contents. It is my dad's medical records for the last year of his life. My mom gave it to me, but made me sit through her re-telling all of the stories before handing it over. The sadness and grief I attached to that box makes it something I have been dreading opening.
It has been suggested that I present the black & white images of me on one wall and the color images (1. my dad in dialysis 2. me reflected in the foggy bathroom mirror 3. my mom walking in their kitchen) on the opposite wall. All three images only show part of each of us, which is very appealing to me. The box would be presented unopened. I still need to draw this out and figure out dimensions, etc.
Rhoda and I are going to talk more about it in a one-on-one and then I should have a definite end in sight.
