Abstract
I take my motivation for the M.F.A. degree to be the Opportunity it provides rather than the M. or the F.A.: the Opportunity to pursue my personal Growing by continuing the original studies and development of the particular Programming begun about six years ago in collaboration with my professor and adviser Mr. Jack Wilkinson. In taking the
consequences of such Programming, there is a natural and
necessary manifestation or Expression of itself by the
individual persons in some meaningful and communicating Form;
"I merely apply the System”---Georges Seurat.
I find myself situated in the uniquely Temporal Culture
of the 20th Century with an aptitude for the two particularly
temporal media—the instantaneous Visual and the simultaneous
Mnemonic: which convention calls Painting and Writing. My
Wholehearted Involvement in this situation does not in any way
preclude preliminary or periodic Expression thru both these
media in terms of their maximum Differentiation as the means for
determining basic Potentials and Appropriatenesses of Expression;
but the natural disposition to Synthesis tends in the longrun
to produce a new Expression which is much more Comprehensive
in intent and interest, including as it does, not only both
visual and literary insights, but also tactile and kinetic
factors to compose s whole world complete in its context
where nothing is left out.
