C E S 2/24

This week on Carter's Blog:
-we revisit the success of her imposing structure
-we explore the beginnings of her new project

Lets begin, shall we...
Despite a somewhat negative reaction to my wire structure, I ended up being happy with my final result. The installation was really becoming part of the building, latching on to whatever it could reach. I was immediately inspired for our next project because my works seem to be following a natural progression. First web, then nest, now COCOON!!! However, this poses somewhat of a problem because I do not want the projects to resemble each other too much. I am now in the process of brainstorming. Because of the personal nature of the assignment, this means that I am doing a decent amount of self reflection. I have to consider my own personality and tendencies when picking the medium, location, and shape of this cocoon. In order to get a little bit of outside inspiration, I visited La Specola this morning. I was really taken with the textures and nature of a lot of the nests of birds as well as insects. It gave me a good point to jump off from and to work towards starting tuesday.
This week's photos: actually, my flickr page is turning into my online portfolio...with stuff from this semester as well as the past 3...so, there is an array of photos...I am also creating a set purely devoted to italy. This is the page that is linked.
'Till next time...thats all folks.
