Oh if I was in Turkey...
This week in IP I worked on the second draft of my thesis, started my second round of surface experiments and continued my building.
For my thesis, I basically rewrote the entire paper. My first draft was a piece of crap, I really had no idea what I was trying to say. I am much happier with this second draft, although I still have a lot of work to put in it, as well as a page or two about my surfaces and installation (once I figure them out).
As for the building, I'm still working on the piece that goes into the ground, reappears, then goes into the wall. I'm really excited about this piece because it's actually using the space it exists in, making it more of an installation piece and not just a series of arranged sculptures. I'm also working on a fragmented piece.. but after today's critique I don't know if I have enough time to do that, finish the wall piece and figure my surfaces out and fire and glaze everything in two weeks. I'm stressed to say the least.
As for my surfaces, I've gotten some good testing done. I'm working with washes, terra sigs, and some textural glazes. I've made a large batch of Jackie's Base (a low fire semigloss matte glaze that produces little speckles) and added different oxides and colorants to it. I'm also experimenting with how I apply the glazes, instead of simply apply the glaze with a brush or spray, I'm wiping them off as if they were a wash. We'll see how everything goes...
As for now, I need to go to sleep but unfortunately these a ton of people over at my house partying and all i want to do is sleep because I have class all day tomorrow like a real person.
Prom Parti.
