Because of the structure of a recent book, I went to my shelves for similarly formed texts; texts using extensive quotations within the main text. That was the method I used during my teaching at EXS. It seemed very capable of transfering more information, and types of source material to students in an art school. Studio based education needs wide examples
Reading Loves Body, because of its structure, I found a book-marker from sometime ago.
In discovering the Brovira techsheet, I resurrected it, as it returned me, momentarily, to 1970.
the English form of the Brovira instructions.
in seeking the Object we find that math is a simple answer that doesn’t end the question.
infinite questions mean infinite time
even math is an endless task.
Fortunately, paper is finished souping in only minutes.
can you name your influences. How about those you’ve influenced? something all teachers consider.
Mostly, we don’t make a difference that we ever realize. The spoken word ends as it begins.
Claims on forums are a source of ongoing puzzlement. Photography is a small world, isolated but not insulated. The web is just a right-click away. Pride is a terrible memory aide.
Most teachers don’t remember their students well — students are expected to remember some of their teachers. Typically, they remember those who guided well, or who they needed for a career boost. If the teacher had a name, was a member of the canon, they are always listed on the memory page.
What of those students who don’t list you on their extensive friend circle. I wonder more about a teacher citing their student as a badge in their influence-quest. It happens on one forum.
This doesn’t mean as much as other types of errors made in that forum.
Overlaps occur. Gaps are certain. I graduated from SFAI. Was a TA and knew many of those Mr. Jackson cites in:
.. none of those people influenced my work. I knew them when they had just begun their own career, leaving SFAI (MFA) 73. I left several unsigned papers on making dye-transfer prints. They found their way into other peoples work. None of my students ever looked to me, other than at times they needed a job, or a reference.
as one of my bigger influencers says: and so it goes.
Most of my key, ongoing, recurring influences sit on shelves in my library. I will never thank most of them; ever.
