This gathering project has really got me feeling pretty nostalgic. When filling my moleskines with different aspects of my home in San Antonio, I found myself mostly recalling events from my early childhood. I feel a strong connection to that book in particular and I think it helped to have to take into consideration so many different aspects of what made our home "home". I guess it makes sense that I feel less of a connection to the book about my home here in Florence. I've only been here for about a month and it definitely does not feel like home yet. Hopefully with all of this gathering, I will be able to figure out what it will take for that to happen.
I really enjoyed the mark-making assignment in class. It was interesting to see how everyone's work came out so differently. I had no idea what everyone else's were about or where to even start to look at them while mine made complete sense to me. I had no idea that could happen with just a few marks. It also made me aware of all of the different places that i've felt at home other than San Antonio. It was interesting to see the connections.
