Theme sequence progress will hopefully accelerate once I've completed Mucha's cutout—I was working at a snail's pace, having to simultaneously reconstruct the pieces on drawing paper as a "negative" image. A day or two ago I lost interest in that particular side-project, deciding it took too much time and was visually less interesting than I anticipated. Since then progress has zipped along, so I should be able to play with the product within the next day, for once actually having a "work of art" to show for next Thursday. Crossing my fingers that the preparation was worth it (funnily enough, I first thought the finished cutout itself would be the work, but over time it's turned out to be merely step one).
Upcoming photos this weekend.
Update: Here are the photos to some of my work from this past week, including from the drawing portion of class, the running theme appearing to be cutouts. Also a couple photos of my finished Mucha cutout, under different lighting circumstances (and the last is a photoshop paintover, to preview the effect if I applied acrylic to it).

- Our own finitude must be prevalent in any enquiry we conduct into the infinite - if only because, given the paradoxes of thought about the infinite, it is clear that we are better able to confront the infinite through analogies and contrasts than head-on.
What we are seeking then is nothing less than an account of our own finitude, and of our relation to the infinite.
