I think I could see tha..."like a Hal Foster strip"<br /><br />I think I could see that better if the text were on the piece itself... Actually, I think that could work really really well! That "title" seems to have six parts (separated by commas): were you intending a one-to-one corespondence with the six panels?Andrei Molotiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400106944822618816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-7405483174183120842009-05-14T07:58:00.000-04:002009-05-14T07:58:00.000-04:00Also, it works like a Hal Foster strip where a mea...Also, it works like a Hal Foster strip where a meaning structure is set up ("sequencing the fuzz...the racket the moon makes!") and the panels illustrate the idea (a set of divergent panels is needed to convey the fractured, associative flow).<br /><br />But, yep, super RR - in fact, I was telling my wife when I was making it that I didn't want to just end up with a pale imitation of Rauschenburg...Jason Overbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950447945934411203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-9506466595760422942009-05-13T22:54:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:54:00.000-04:00Well, it's very Rauschenbergian.

All the representation is in quotation marks.Andrei Molotiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400106944822618816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-7738550512329325022009-05-13T22:45:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:45:00.000-04:00Thanks - I'm not sure it really is sequential. It...Thanks - I'm not sure it really is sequential. It's maybe comics because it uses comics' iconography or because of the mixture of text and imagery. I've been liking Spigelman's co-mix idea lately - it feels much more inclusive. I'm wondering if sequentiality is necessary for something to be comics (not "sequential art," but "comics."). But, then, maybe it's not "non-represenational." I don't know.Jason Overbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950447945934411203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-32404438282847819872009-05-13T22:24:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:24:00.000-04:00ha! that is gorgeous!ha! that is gorgeous!Blaise Larmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01370406935290571198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899946063697780510.post-40381791999877247382009-05-13T21:59:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:59:00.000-04:00I don't mind the green line at all--maybe, a la Du...I don't mind the green line at all--maybe, a la Duchamp with the Large Glass, you should just decree it's part of the work now.<br /><br />I like the piece, though I'm not sure I can see the sequentiality. I think it's maybe because of the mixed media--I get more of an overall collage effect that makes me want to take in the whole piece at once. Or maybe it's the total change from panel to panel... But as a piece of art, is really cool.Andrei Molotiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400106944822618816noreply@blogger.com
