Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I want to incorporate color into my work. A color inkjet printer with enable me to do that in a refined manner. My primary desired outcome is that the resulting work excites and satisfies me. A secondary desired outcome is to get a solid body of work together that galleries will be willing to exhibit. I hope thus to gain a larger audience for my work. A measurable outcome would be some upcoming exhibits and then perhaps even some sales. I want to push both the mythical content of my work and create exciting optical effects. I want to see how I can push the visual aspect of the work without losing the content. I make art because it satisfies me, but if it does not communicate or reach and audience the effort will be incomplete. When I do exhibit the resulting work I will ask the people who see the work what it expresses to them. If it retains its emotion impart while it dazzels the eye then it is certainly successfull.
