gaining a different perspective on what you are making is
essential to an evaluation of one's work i.e.
one can;
put it away for a while
look at it upside down,
from a distance
in a mirror,
in a black mirror
and,
when people with the capacity
of critical observation
will share with you
what they see -
(which should be
the grad school experience)
at some point you decide not to
look for second opinions before you
hang it up as significant
so your perspective
stands alone
although we should always remain students,
being enrolled in formal eduction
should be acknowledged
when the work is a student assignment
and teacher's perspective are represented
it may be considered a collaboration
but should be identified as student work
of course
the art world is a hotbed of
corruption and political manipulation so
where you place yourself on the continuum
of truth being "what ever one can get away with"
is an expression of where you will compromise
and casts a shadow.
The shadow needs not fall across your painting
