Brainstorming

So, the works for the show are finally complete and I got some well deserved rest in between writing my distinction paper and doing work for other classes. I met with Deborah last week to discuss making new work, and I have a bit of a dilemma. I am practically out of PINS money, but I would like to make one more piece before the end of the quarter. I also used some of the last of it to buy materials for a relevant Open Media project, which will feature a recreation of an old photograph using myself as the subject. This has already posed some issues, as printing of photographs costs about $30 for each print, and I have two at the moment and will probably need more if I create another work. I am trying to get in contact with Roddy to see if he can help me print, but he was unable before because he didn't have regular, non-coated paper which doesn't work for a transfer. I am meeting with him today to look at some possible paper options, if not, the last of my money will go to the two prints for my Open Media project.
When talking with Deborah, there were a few options we discussed. We talked about making smaller work, using the last of the funds to create one more complex piece of Plexi and perhaps, as an experiment, try making prints on transparencies instead of Plexiglas. The last proposal is intriguing to me, but I have no idea where I would go to do that or how much it costs. I have also thought about simply raiding their scraps, but they don't have a huge selection of clear acrylic. Any ideas or opinions are welcome.
