The intent of this month's posting is to serve as a guide for the external reader (RDC2) to viewing all work related to the project since it began in October 2016 to date. This posting consists of three lists. The first list contains the titles with embedded links to all work posted to the 'Studio- Making' page. The second list is of titles to all postings in 'Studio Writing' also with embedded links. The third list contains links to postings in 'Presentations' for the three presentations done for this project in conjunction with Transart Institute residencies. All lists are chronological - oldest to most recent - and each link should open in a new window.
I. The following is a chronological list of postings in Studio - Making. Each work is built to some extent off previous work; therefore it is important to start at the beginning to see the unfolding of the painting strategies through the techniques, methods and tools of my process. The postings include my own painting (self) and the painting with the personas - individually and in collaboration within my painting practice. I have documented the process the various works’ creation through still photos, flatbed scans of the paintings, videos. The writing in these postings is meant as documentation of the making process, not an analysis or reflection of the resulting work or contextualization through sources outside of the works themselves. Therefore, the writing here will tell the reader how a work was made and provide some ‘backstory’ -such as the origins of each persona or images used in a particular work - but little else.

II. The following list is a chronological account of postings in Studio Writing. The writing in these postings takes a variety of forms, such as reflections on the personas and making process, readings, exhibitions, films, sketches, notes, citations, presentations, and drafts for chapters. I have found writing on the computer in either in documents or emails allows my thoughts to flow quicker - and more legibly - to the page I rarely write more than a word or two as a prompt in my notebook, sketchbook, or journals. Instead, I sit down at my laptop and write, either as myself, Melusine, Petra, and occasionally Franzi. Most of the following postings are by me unless otherwise noted, and very informal with very little editing. I return to read the postings frequently, to re-think, reflect and re-consider the thoughts I had when creating the posting; and to collect bits and pieces to add to or generate new writing, specifically the writing for presentations, reports, and most importantly, the chapters of the written dissertation.
