nason, february 24

so this past week was definitely pretty hectic getting my giant white cave in order. it was a total mess for a while--i think i went through at LEAST 40 different roles of toilett paper--and i sincerely apologize that you guys still have to walk all over it to get to the sink. i will clean it up pronto, unless anyone has any sincere objections??

no, i had alot of fun making my white tunnel--but it taught me a thing or two about what to expect when getting into something like that. of course, i understand that an artists' vision is hardly ever exactly realized in a work, and sometimes this is rewarding when your vision morphs and changes with the process to create some grand, fulfilling work. this wasn't exactly what i found to be true while working on my giant installation. i was happy enough with it, but it did require me more patience and surrender than i am normally used to, and i cant imagine it is going to be fun un raveling that thing. i will give 500 dollars to anyone who wants to do it for me. is that inappropriate to put in this blog? ok wasting your time.

i am really enjoying this "concept based" class though--i feel like i am more open to materials and media than i ever have been. i always joke with my friends about making something disgusting or disturbing--really sexual or something---because at wash u i always feel like i am making something pretty to impress the teacher. but...get ready guys, this next one might cause you all to puke in your mouths a little bit! no, kidding again. but this freedom is excellent and i think its really cool to see what you are all coming up with. critiques are more fun when there are tons of different things to see, and its really impressive to see the scope of the class' creativity, i would say at least.

im still working out my ideas for this next one, so i guess you are eall in for the surprise of your LIVESSS

oh, and i am attaching some photos of the finished project---some details and then one glance down the hallway, though it is all kind of disconcerting-enjoy.
