Satan Knew This Was Coming

Abstract

The original edition of this thesis statement was printed on a commercial receipt printer (Bixolon srp‐350 plus) and was intended to be handed out as a piece of printed matter at the gallery. I was committed to distributing this writing until several hours before the show opened. I flaked for several reasons and ultimately the printed matter edition of this thesis draft was distributed at my opening. Those rationales will be explored later in this document. The printed matter draft encompasses the bulk of my written thesis statement. As such, a digitally scanned copy of that draft has been included. At my defense, my committee agreed that my speech patterns varied so greatly from my written text that the project would benefit significantly from a transcribed spoken word element. This took the form of a conversation between myself and Bruce Barber. The transcription of that conversation follows the thesis statement.
