meeting summary

Yesterday Mark and I video skyped for well over an hour. He pointed out a few things that I was afraid of admitting. I've plateaued. The work doesn't seem to be changing or growing. He gave me an assignment last week, that I do some "collage" type drawings where I draw different elements from different viewpoints and spaces, all on one page, showing a rhythm not only across the page but also in and out of the page, speeding up ans slowing down, rendering as well as loose gestural suggestions of forms. We discussed the outcomes of the assignment, and I got more clear about what he meant. We talked about my hideous ellipses and he gave me some good suggestions, including letting the structure show underneath more sensitive lines. He asked me to use more color and pattern for emphasis.
