- who am i as an artist / designer?
I'm still me! Just a slightly more nonconforming, "apathetic", caffeinated version of me.
I still have the same bucket list, those red socks are still my favorite, and Winnie the Pooh will always have a very special place in my heart.
Me; art student, aspiring human being.

It's a work in progress, but I'll be the first to let you know when I find out.
-who is my audience?
Publicists, Editors, Good Looking Men.
Humanists, Activists, Leaders.
Subjects, Peers.
-how do i communicate with this audience?
The thing about artists is that they bare all through their work, whether it's obvious or not. But more specifically, through my thoughts, through my eyes, and slowly but surely through my words.
And as I embark on my quest to throw my shit out into the world, I'm starting to realize something: I. don't. need. to. tell. everything. It's totally up to me! This may seem like common sense, but for some reason it's just hitting me now. Whatever.
Anyway, the world loves mysticism and evasiveness. The chase is more fun than the catch, right? So I'll be elusive. You want something nitty gritty that leaves you salivating for more? Oh, I'll weave a tangled web of mystery, my friend. Never fear.

-how does my creative work function in society?
It helps me to function in a society. It breaks the awkward silences, it is the common ground for small talk, and hopefully will be so fucking controversial it'll cause a rowdy brawl. (I've always wanted to be in a bar fight at any rate...)
-reflect on your embrace or disagreement with Weintraub's preface regarding Pluralism, Free-Radicals and the Breakdown of the Guild
I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I embrace Weintraub's preface, but I certainly don't disagree with it. Her metaphor of the Free Radicals made sense to me after a while, and after even longer, it made me laugh.
Her words were written to distinguish the difference between all three of the above mentioned BIG ideas, but they instead helped me to see how interrelated each one was to its' counterparts.
These are new concepts to me; things my brain still has to work on. Hopefully this course will help.

I like your sense of humor. It's very refreshing. You brought up normal things and then you brought up things that we usually like to hide/forget about. "Good Looking Men" - funny.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you're growing from dealing with your audiences. And yes, you should be elusive.
I like the way you put that rather than your art functioning in society that it helps you function in society. Because it's true, or well I know the feeling. I use my being an artist or my work as a topic for conversation a lot. Not because i'm conceited but because I quite often run out of things to say unfortunately. I also like that you are clear that you as an artist does not vary very far from you as a regular person on the street.
