Exploring my space was a dusty process that involved my climbing on precarious objects. This jungle gym activity allowed me a certain freedom to root through objects and crawl through spaces with a sense of curiosity that was surprisingly uplifting. In my gathering process I made a few quick sketches, but I found the most information in collecting objects. Because my space was so cluttered and packed full of objects, my objective drawing became a sort of scientific slice to view the layers of rubble piled up to the ceiling.
After working in class on the mapping activities and exploring different themes or points of view on my space, my subjective drawing seems to be meandering along a path of turning the storage room into a domestic space. Since I’ve been in Florence I’ve spent a lot of time cooking in the kitchen, which has been a satisfying experience that is now spilling into my drawing space. The antique and dusty objects in the room have the same used and loved feeling of the appliances in my kitchen, but there is still the contrast between the rustic and the modern.
