How does one define the word "Surface" in relation to art making? That question is the most essential question to answer in terms of your own work for this nine-week period. In addition to answering that question, you should also contemplate the following list of questions:
1. What are the first things you think of when you hear or read the word "surface"? Make a list of those things, and then make associations to the things listed. See where those associations take you, and try to spot an idea in that list that might become a series of artworks.
2. How can you make art that both emphasizes surface, and makes a statement about your own life experience?
3. Does artwork that emphasizes surface have to be a painting? Does it have to have a thick rough texture?
4. How can you make a work of art, or a series of artworks that deny surface?
As you think of other questions that might be useful in this Socratic blog entry, send them my way and I'll post them. Remember, always question your own work in an effort to bring sense to it. The more questions you ask yourself, the more answers your work will produce.
