work up for crit

all of my work up in the critique room that i have done since being in Pont Aven

these are all concepts i am exploring that is working towards exploring the ideas of relationships and my generation and the idea of soullessness in socializing and also having the internet involved. Creating an identity on the internet that may not really be who you are, interacting in a false way and ideas of intimacy, commitment and feelings and how we interact with each other today in a falseness. It is not a finished project,  just ideas i am playing around to think about what i would like to explore in a potential body of work for the future that has to do with these concepts.

Gillian Ayres
i love everything about Gillians work in the Tate it is energetic and colorful.

Roger Hilton i relate this piece to a figure and love the simplicity of it and gesture

Dexter Dalwoodthe idea of line, and combining different images is interesting to me and i think he did it very well

i really liked the movement in this painting

picasso

 i love this piece, it was see through and had two layers of material

 i love the idea of moving to sculpture maybe and this was a very fluid representation of movement to me

 looks like wandas long lost brother

 when i was young i used to have a friend who would tell me i looked great even when i looked horrible.. this made me think of her and laugh

 i liked this because it was a large piece of a figure without being in a square

 this is a close up of a peice that was all done with little wholes that the paint bleed threw, i loved the idea

this is my favorite painting i saw the whole time Peter Linde Busk
