Whew! what a week! The majority, well the entirety actually, of this week's photos deal with the undoubtedly aforementioned work done in class this week. Using Perec's text as a groundwork, we developed a number of works related to home and our interpretations of place. My work relates to my conflicting feelings on home and place. I find that it takes me a great deal of effort to actually understand what home means to me. It's something that is almost impossible to describe at all, as to me it has always been more of an understanding, or feeling. But, of course, learning how to express that is why I'm here, so I might as well take a shot at it. I was intrigued by the fact that my recollection and relation to space differed from that of my classmates. I have little affinity for nature, and rather enjoy city life to the solitude of the country. At any rate, I am excited and scared about our next project. Scared in a good way, as I have an idea of what I want to do, but I'm not sure if it will work, or even if I should tackle the subject that interests me the most.
