Okay, so after getting back from Rome- the beloved city to which my wallet, major credit cards and 1st piccell wireless cellphone were lost- and finding myself without my camera as well, I got a little behind on my blogging. To atone for my lack of responsibility, here's a little recap of studio fun.
I finished my video, which was a study of imagination abstraction told through light and color and distortion (mainly of Amy's eye- thanks amy!) using glass. I was very satisfied with the finished work and would love to use film again as a medium, particularily to experiement and perfect those few frames that didn't quite hit the mark in this last piece.

(though the quality is kind of lacking)
Moving on to the collections project-
My inital idea of presenting myself as a collection and housing it is to take the glass bottles from my last project and use them to structure a kindof psuedo graveyard of men that have affected my life. My dad died when I was younger and I am thinking of making a more personal, private piece reflecting upon the effects of that event regarding my male friends and/ or lovers since. Taking from the idea of the distorting/ amplifying properties of glass filled with liquid I may work with photographs where the face has been rubbed or scratched out and sink them to the bottom and then adding in objects or symbols. It's still in the preliminary stages and acquiring materials has been difficult, but it should be interesting.
