John McCracken. Tools. Archaeology. Implements of destruction/construction.  Edges. Flat and dimensional but not round. Essentially 2D. Therefore, painting. Craft aesthetic. Underpainting. 

Incisive. Divisive. Tools of revolution. Editing. Cropping. Creating "sides."

Jack Goldstein.  The Knife.

The kind of work my students would like and like to make. Oversized. Playful. Theatrical. Role playing and fantasy. Shear pleasure. 

Tools that divide and, therefore, multiply.
