During the mind map exercise, the two pieces I gathered that really stood out for me were clinking dishes and a bicycle wheel reflector. The dishes I had heard in a cafe as I passed by and the sound was so distinct that I could accurately attribute the sound to that of ceramic dishes and/or metal utensils clanging together. I especially liked the randomness and chance of the creation of sound and melody. As I mapped out my thoughts I found that this was what I had particularly been interested in and the sort of tension surrounding the possibility of the dishes clinking together.
For the second map, the bicycle wheel reflector had stood out in my mind. It was a beautiful sunny day when I caught sight of this particular reflector, which moved so nicely around the wheel and as the sun glistened and bounced off of it. I noticed as I was mapping this idea, it was quite similar to the dishes because both of them cause a rhythm in either sight or sound, but not necessarily a planned rhythm, but rather one subject to its surroundings.
The pictures for this week are of my maps and also a few pictures from home. I've been thinking a lot about home lately, and I think one of the things I particularly miss is the nature around me at home since in a city such as Florence, nature is not as prevalent. I chose 4 pictures from the 4 seasons in my hometown.
