So this week was more drawing, in addition to thesis writing and thoughts about how I will display the drawings for the final show. In regards to display, I emailed Amanda Lilleston to ask about her techniques for hanging her prints in Slusser Galler for the MFA exhibition. I know I do not want to use frames at this point, and Amanda managed to beautifully display her prints without frames or pins in the corner. Currently, I am waiting to hear back from her, but Mark Nielson and I also discussed attaching panels of light wood or foam board to the back of each drawing with which they can be hung up on a wall. This could also provide some solid structure to the paper, and I'll probably gather some materials this coming week to do a bit of testing.
So, after thinking all that out, I was drawing a lot, at least 13.5 hours according to my tally, in addition to thesis writing, which was at least 5 hours or so. Below are the drawings I mainly worked on this week, in addition to working on past ones (which are not pictured);
This coming week will be a continuation of the marathon of drawing. I'd like to have most of them completed or near completion by the end of this week, so that the following week before the work is due to the gallery, I can make final touches/adjustments and finalize ideas for display. Hard to believe the show is less than a month away!
