Christy Nigh- week 5

So this week began with new assignments for both sketchbook and bodyandarchitecture. When first told to figure out something that I collect and then make a storage container for those things, I first thought that I collect people, which is true. I really enjoy people, I find them both the same and different from myself, which I think is fascinating. I also find the way in which different people think about the world fascinating. Besides collecting people(in a way), I also collect patterns. I find patterns fun to deal with because they deal with simple shape relationships and many of them follow a simple rule or two that are easy to manipulate and modify. It was pretty easy for me to go back and find several different kinds of patterns in my photos (some of which I posted).
I have been considering combining the two concepts of people and patterns together through the same medium I used for my last piece (hand drawn film, or a time lapse drawing). It is a rather labor intensive process, but I quite enjoyed it in my last project and would like to try taking a similar technique in a different direction.
Besides combining a couple of my main "collections" I am also going to combine the project for sketchbook with this one, in part because it allows me to have more time and energy to focus on this, and also because they work really well together (which as Regan has noted, is not a coincidence) ;) Anyways, I am considering incorporating statues in my piece in order to stand in for the many people I have collected over the years. I am not entirely sure how this is going to work, but I intend to figure it out.

One last note, I am working on putting my last project on YouTube, but I haven't had a chance to convert the movie format yet, so hopefully it will be coming soon.
