what is visual thinking?
![Page 3: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
somewhere in between complete immersion in the work…
![Page 4: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
and the objective, self-critical state in which there is awareness of the viewer.

but also aware of the viewer and concerned with communication
![Page 6: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
being intuitive, subjective and deeply involved
![Page 7: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
a loop of observation and response, involving intuition and spontaneity, but also thought and self-criticism

my process
![Page 9: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
in my studio

techniques
![Page 11: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
process-oriented, looking for evocative leads
![Page 12: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
an eroded and aging surface, an old wall
![Page 13: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
sometimes just allowing the process to unfold
![Page 14: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
rapid, dramatic change is possible with cold wax medium

multiple panels also lead to constant changes during the process
![Page 16: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
focal points come late in the process

refinement and control of technique
![Page 18: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
buried technique, subtle shifts and nuances
![Page 19: Visual thinking and the self critique process](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110302/5455781daf79593f4a8b7719/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
