well well well i got some ideas i guess.
my structure will be made of my collection. i'm planning on making these things i knit with my hands and creating a nesty place with them. i have to work out the details of the structure, but i know ive got to make lots of my yarn knitted things. i know how specific im being is just driving you nuts. my "yarn knitted things" are hard to explain. you probably all made them when you were younger. i make them when my hands want something to do and when my mind wanders. i really do it without thinking about it, so the concept will be that the knitted stuff represents my wasted time and boredom that have collectively affected my life and may have also been the same for others. it just shows how much time i spend doing nothing and how it really does represent a significant amount of myself. im gonna have to do some mindmapping to figure out the logistics for the rest of it.
rome was fun. i stayed til today (sunday) and it was a good time. they have some really great museums there and i spent some time just drawing there.
i dont have many pictures to post
(mostly because the lack of a camera). next week ill have some good ones.
this conceptual business is not taking a toll on me quite as much as liz, but im certainly feeling like ive been on a whirlwind of surprises so far in our studio classes with all the experimenting and different media used for every project. i think im glad about it, but its all very confusing sometimes. just throwing that out there.

i also got inspired for regans new project while i was in rome...got lots of postcards...i dont really wanna give away my ideas becuase theyre not solidified and i dont want yall to steal em. i hate when people say yall. sorry.
have a swell evening.
oh and my mom got a dog yesterday! im really excited. her name is cookie. hahahaha.



oh and by the way i want to include noise in my new proj but i really dont have a clue as to how to do that yet. because i havent thought that far. but i really enjoyed making noises and recording them for the last film project. we'll see what happens.
