Pause/tabletop/pause

Olson, Scott

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.

Modeled after a process of painting, this text is organized by a loose framework of concerns that lie just outside of such a practice. These subjects include the influence, use, and limitations of sound in a practice of painting, a look into the organization of the surface of a table as a site for painting and thinking, and finally thoughts about objects in relation to expanded notions of painting. Through these instances, a discussion of distance begins to articulate, not a theory or painting, rather a marking off of its territory and its intersections with various modes of thought and material. The absence of a conclusive anchor leaves this text open and malleable like a fraying edge of canvas.
