Issues & Presentation

Very little art created over the last two days.

Why?

#1 - I had my first issues with my 2 year old MacBook Pro. The AirPort card is crapping out. I had to drive two hours to an Apple Store in Richmond. The “geniuses” were stumped. Still no wi-fi, so I purchased a longer ethernet cord while I was there.

#2 - Both headlights on my Insight crapped out at the same time. I went and bought two new lamps (even though one looked okay) but it didn’t fix the issue. I still have no working headlights (though I have one working high beam) and the fuses are fine. Argh.

Yesterday was completely shot because of those two issues.

#3 - I was asked to do a presentation at the local college (Sweet Briar) so I have been digitizing old photos and slides and I am going through tons of files of art I haven’t looked at in a long while. I was asked to explain my process when I create art, so instead of it being the usual presentation about the finished work, it will be about how I get from concept to completion. Luckily I used to take images of my art as I worked on it (kind of like I am doing on this blog).

Hopefully it will be interesting, but I have spent hours going through prints, slides and digital files and organizing them. This is partly because I am so disorganized, but also because I haven’t thought about these works or looked at many of the process images in ages … ages, I tell you.
