VISUAL  THINKING IEA Panel Discussion  Sept. 24, 2010
what is visual thinking?
somewhere in between  complete immersion in the work…
and  the objective,  self-critical state in which  there is  awareness of the viewer.
but also aware of the viewer and concerned with communication
being intuitive, subjective and deeply involved
a loop of observation and response,  involving intuition  and spontaneity, but also thought and self-criticism
my process
in my studio
techniques
process-oriented, looking for evocative leads
an eroded and  aging surface, an old wall
sometimes just allowing the process to unfold
rapid, dramatic  change is possible with cold wax medium
multiple panels also lead to  constant changes during the process
focal points come late in the process
refinement and control of technique
buried technique, subtle shifts and  nuances
going back and forth around a point that  seems “just right”
visual thinking and self-critique…what  am I aiming for?
my list of criteria
complexity
connection
tension
contrast
subdued energy
serenity
mystery
presence
authority
authenticity
innovative  or  adds to understanding of  other  work
has multiple  aspects of meaning
inter-relationship  of form and content
my  self-critique criteria  complexity connection  tension  contrast subdued energy  serenity mystery presence authority authenticity innovative , or adds to  understanding of other work has multiple  aspects of meaning Inter-relationship of form and content
