I spent some time the last couple of days tinkering with a slideshow of selected sketches from 2011. It can be viewed on youtube by clicking on the sunrise above. (Or access at http://youtu.be/oAhToX_w1OU.)
ABOUT THE SLIDESHOW… Some friends previewed an earlier version, and they seemed to like it. The images move by very fast (there are 221 included in just under 6 minutes), and it was suggested that there should be more time to study each one. I personally like the pace, which, to me, suits the rhythm of the music, and also reiterates the quotidian nature of the project. I also received a request for a slideshow with all 365 drawings, in order, and I will make and post one soon. The sketches for this show have been edited and rearranged to my own liking. I am a curator after all! Interestingly, I guess this arrangement reflects the way that I approach art on a daily basis in my work at the museum: rapidly looking at a large volume of images, culling and sorting along the way, then arranging them to be viewed by others. All that said, chance played a fair role in the making of this slideshow, and I myself have been delighted to discover relationships between sketches that just happened to land next to each other in the end. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do!
Oh, and I’m just learning about making videos and posting them. So while this might look fine on my computer, if there are audio/video synch issues when you watch it, please let me know!
