Wave
A pen plotter print for 10x10
Whenever I have a big project, I overcomplicate it by adding 2-3 tasks on top of it. For example, the past 2 months I've been working on a print for my first ever exhibition. But, instead of spending all my time focusing on the print, I decided to rewrite my entire art stack from the ground up. I've spent the last few weeks rewriting code and updating every piece of art that I've ever made over the last 2 years. On one hand this is pure procrastination but, on the other hand, it has actually been a fun process. It's been nice to flip through my sketchbook and revisit my old work, to refactor code using new techniques I've learned while also relearning techniques that I've forgotten.
The print in question is called Wave:
It revisits the radial circle theme that I've explored in past prints:
The print is part of Pyramid Atlantic's annual 10x10 show. Check it out if you find yourself in Hyattsville, MD!

Inputs
-
In Teaching & Learning as "PRIMITIVE HYPERTEXT," students describe something they call "the wash." Class as a body of water, a river of thoughts, ideas, fragments, and philosophies guided by the careful hand of @kameelahr. No enforced agendas or information quotas. We went where the current pulled us. We respected the flow. It is impossible to drink every drop, the wash was our way of acknowledging that we can be shaped by what we don't consciously remember, that we can return again and again to conversations, and that learning (as participant @ghmac10 coined) can precipitate from your past when the conditions for condensation are met.
