Week 4 (solo)

This week and probably here on out I will be working solo again. I am continuing to use "Love in the Time of Cholera" for my subject.

“She was able to draw no conclusions because her husband’s patients, except for mutual friends were part of his private domain. There were people without identity, known not by their faces but by their pains, not by the color of their eyes or the evasions of their hearts but by the size of their livers, the coating on their tongues, the blood in their urine, the hallucinations of their feverish nights.”

Week 3 (solo)

Week 3:

Mark is off working his real job. I will be trying things on my own for a while.

For the next several projects I will try taking the subject for the week from various texts about love. This week I chose "Love in the Time of Cholera". Below is the selected passage.

This is the first time since I know you that I have heard you say something you should not have.

In June 2012 I went to China for about 8 weeks to teach art. I traveled around a bit but mostly stayed in Chengdu. One of the craziest things to see there were all the bikes. I took tons of photos of them and I am not sure what to do with them just yet. I thought posting them would be a good way to start sorting through and getting feedback.

week 2 (with Mark)

Week 2:

Dropshot: a ball or shuttlecock so softly hit tha it falls to the playing surface just after ceasing the net as in tennis or badminton.

Balaclava: a knitted cap that covers the head, neck, and upper shoulders.

For week 1 and 2, I collaborated with Mark Shepard. We took turns responding back and forth to the series. I used a combination of a dictionary and the date to come up with our verbal prompt. The first word is chosen at random from the dictionary page number that is the same number of the date the project begins. The second word is the page number that is the date in reverse.
