Its been a while

So, its been a while since II've made a post. After my last post I got really involved in the actual making of my thesis project. What I did between then and now is as follows, in as close to a chronological order as I can currently muster.

.....Wash car, jack car up safely, drain engine fluids, drain gas tank, remove gas tank and fuel lines, remove front and rear windshields, remove extraneous parts from around engine, remove engine, lower car, cut car in half, burn the engine in a funeral ceremony, produce a series of objects including but not limited to necklaces, masks, a throne, ritual garb, weapons, tools, and musical instruments, edit video documentation of performance/process works, produce a DVD, construct display shelves, install shelves and objects, move 1/2 car into the gallery, procure and prepare refreshments for opening reception, schmooze audience at opening reception, defend thesis project, take down gallery exhibition, thank friends, attend funeral of a beloved friend and relative, move to Alabama, look for a job, try to fix relationship with girlfriend, finish writing thesis paper.....

Okay, I know that seems like a lot, but most of it is done now, and it really only took about 4 months to accomplish. I could not have done it had I not received a good deal of help from my friends and professors, quite often that help came at crucial times. Thank you:

Bernard, Adam, Alex, Chris, Luke, Nick, Greg, Yodalis, Glen, John, Happiness, Keli, Juan, Jeremy, Joyce, Eugene, Josh, Brittney, Alex, Brendan, Ashley, Jim, David, Mike, Alejandro, Zhiyuan, JJ, Arnold, MaryBeth, Jeremy, and everyone else that lent a hand or gave encouraging words.

Next post, process information...coming soon...
