I have taken a little diversion with my work from the homages, and the Uomini Famosi- my ladies. Coming into the program, I had a desire to work more loosely with the concept of my 'Art Heroes' and during Critical Theory I, I had an idea for a piece devoted to the 'Happenings' guys: Claes Oldenburg, Red Grooms and Jim Dine.
I am starting on a triptych of the 'Happenings' guys that I will integrate the title and text, "We Three Kings: Red, Jim, Claes". The idea for this piece has stuck with me, and would like to pursue it this semester, as I know next semester even more cohesiveness, and the narrowing of my concept and direction will be needed. So 'carpe diem', the time is ripe to bring it into fruition!
