Ah, putting it all together...it took me until tonight to realize its OK that my form is not a form in the way that a circle or a square or an arch it is a form. And what all meandering lines have in common is NOT that they all meander the same way. Thats exactly the point! They are all meandering lines because they all meander in different ways. So, how does this relate to the work im doing now? Well, hold on, i'll get there...
Last week when i came to class, all my explorations were basically just mixed media doodles. I quickly realized that was not the point...sooo, back to the drawing board, quite literally. I spent most of last weeks class doing detailed renderings of some of my favorite meandering lines, solely with the intention of understanding the forms better. Now I'm in the process of rerendering them on better paper and adding some hints of collage/mixed media. Each drawing is going to be a finished piece within itself, but theyll be arranged to illustrate how meandering lines to not start or end (in the world), they simply take on different forms. My piece also includes a video of a particularly special meandering line involving water and a bus window, but unfortunately i cannot post a video.
