beginning of fall term

i didn't work on anything all summer, except writing and music.
some ideas that i've been working through the last couple of weeks:
-"experimental" printmaking, which is basically me making prints without planning or having an end product in mind. i am making a reduction print right now that falls into this category.
-tearing, cutting, reworking the collages that i made in the spring, maybe with some screen printing on top or chine colle'd onto another piece of thicker paper...it all depends on what the silk tissue can handle.
-life-size cut-outs of people, perhaps larger than life-size, intimidating? smaller than life-size (think jonathon borofsky)
-artists i have been investigating: nancy spero, swoon, meredith stern

every term this happens. i have a project i want to work on, but i know that i won't be able to finish it by the end of term, so i lose motivation and don't even really want to try. i would rather not make something than force myself to hurry up and finish something before its ready to be done.
