it was cold at night, and when a creepy guy started lingering i packed up – but i wasn’t happy with the first projections so i went back out  -set up again and went out to test some more.. 

i like how these space question the bounderies of space and the limits of what is really there

about his self portrait below weaver says, “As a small boy I thought of nothing but Bauhaus architecture, grids, and wild elk.”

I love the way he creates space and the colors he uses.

im sorry its late..

This week I decided that the photo collages werent enough for me so i began photo transferring them onto woodblocks with the intent of painting and writing back into them- they have yet to be a success. I’ve been researching with projection, this weekend Im using an hp vp6220 to test on large walls outdoors -this projector isn’t strong enough. I had a meeting with Cynthia Pachikara discussing possibilities and opportunities to find stronger projectors or the funding for one. for further research i will be attending her class critiques on moving images on buildings with the architecture school.  Im sure my meeting on Tuesday with Tom Bray will also help find ways to project at a large scale. 

Ive found that this is all a very exciting and to just trust the process – I’ve been in contact with Mark Covington to organize a workshop with the kids on Georgia Street to re-imagine their space (their homes, neighborhoods & realities) through art. never know whats going to come next.

I think its important that this week im testing these images on a large scale to see if they can hold such a scale. just keep making and researching… and finish my grant proposal!

this week I spent most of my time researching projectors and the technicalities that are going to go into the large scale projections, I spoke with photo Joe who said that the projectors that are available through the university are not powerful enough to project onto buildings, and that the ones that might be powerful enough run at about $10,000! so I’ve scheduled some meetings to explore other possibilities of getting around that cost. i’ve found that its not going to be an easy task, and will require lots of research.

this week I also explored the possibilities of photo-transfer and plan on exploring that more. Hannah asked if all the images Im using are my own, yes they are. they are all photographs I have taken over the years. in terms of some being more successful than others, im not sure, i dont think any of them are quite finished yet. I plan on developing them more, going mack and working into them.. and then projecting those images. I think how successful they are depends on the finished product, whether its the finished painting or the projected image.  I only see them as a series in the form of collages together, but when projected, I imagine them to be independent experiences. 

this week I plan on developing these collages, working more, i am waiting to hear back from a few people to further ideas and I want to start experimenting with projectors. 

lets be inspired.
