Our assignment for last week's class was to pick a theme to focus on and connect it to painting/architecture here. Because I carry around so many different keys, I became interested in their unique shapes and other things they are associated with such as doors, locks, gates etc. I compiled a bunch of photographs and bought some postcards with images that I thought I could tie together formally. I've worked narrow down my images to find what exactly the form is that I am drawn to. The images that I've linked to this post are fragments of larger paintings (and one photoshop drawing over a photograph) that I can see a formal connection between. I am currently working on fleshing out the formal aspect of this assignment with smaller pen/ink drawings and will post images of some of those upon completion. So far I've found this to be a very different exercise because I am breaking away from conceptual thought for awhile, but I am curious to see where I can take it.
