...and so it begins [semester 1...otherwise known as S1].
The semester is split into two parts; research [visual culture project], which is doing research, annotations, and analysis and studio work which is not always but can be done in conjunction with the research.
My VC [visual culture project] is centered on the following question...
How has the feminist art movement [1960's-1990's] altered perceptions of power, identity, and gender?
Bibliography for the first mailing includes: Simone de Beauvior, The Second Sex; Broude, Norma & Mary Garrard, The Power of Feminist Art: The American Movement of the 1970's, History, and Impact; Catherine Belsey, Post-Structuralism: A Very Short Introduction.
My studio work will be centered on the following themes: victimization, reclaiming power, maintaining identity. I will be experiementing with video creation as part of my printmaking process. I may incorporate both into an installation work which explores issues relating to vicimization such as rape, and reclaiming ones identity.

not to say that it would be fun, but what if you did a print reflecting on the art in africa and how it does and doesn't affect the people there-- i.c- female genital mutilation-- and prostitution...just a thought, kinda off the subject I know but you would be the right person to attack such a subject and make it profoundly interesting and captivating. miss you so much--- sorry i never got a chance to go see you before you left-- I am the worst friend ever-- oh and I got my puppy!
miss you too!!! ...can't wait to meet your new pooch!
