Andrea N... second post

Hey
So, where to begin?
First of all, I really enjoyed the work we did in Tuesday's class because it was definitely interesting/helpful to look at what other people were doing and to receive feedback. Also, the brainstorming time proved very useful because I came up with an idea for my project that I'm very interested in.
A lot of people mentioned that they were intrigued by the transience of my space, and Julia also noted that she liked the thought of me sitting still in this train station while everyone else moved around me in this huge space. I find these two points to actually be incredibly beautiful, and there is certainly a lot of layering that I could do to deal with these ideas.
In class I decided that I wanted to study the station as a transient space. I want to capture the sturdy, unchanging nature of the architecture itself versus the hectic, face-paced movement in this solid space. Thus I chose to draw the station fairly simply and layer on top of it photo-copy transfers of people in movement. Though I have experimented with both, I have not yet decided if I should use photos of my drawings for these transfers. I think that the photos would be interesting because of their blurry nature, but at the same time I love experimenting with the line quality that is needed to depict these fast-paced people.
Also, last night when I was on a train I received a whole new view of my space; now I was one of these travelers myself. Perhaps it is this notion that somehow inspired me, but I think it would be really interesting to put my paper down on the floor so that people walk over it before I draw on top. I think this would capture the idea of travel through this space in a new way.
We'll see!
