I'm sorry I haven't posted until now - I meant to come to the studio last night, but I got caught up in artwork (...seriously!) and forgot. I went in a slightly different direction this week - I had planned to do two things: 1)learn to knit, and 2)film interviews with people describing their sensory reactions to the grass blankets, but neither of those happened. Instead, I took around 50 films and tons more photographs of the Arno and the waterfall near Ponte Vespucci. I took my little white character down there, too, to document him in the water. I actually fell in while doing this, and people on the bridge above laughed at me. However, what I gathered while I was doing this work and while I sorted through the videos last night was that there is something about the way the water moves on the surface that makes it seem like there is a deeper force pushing and pulling and swirling it from underneath. That made me think about being submerged, immersed - trying to think of all the synonyms for "underneath" or "covered" and seeing which ones fit best. I do hope to make some sort of installation for midterm next week.
I'm including my photo link here, since it doesn't seem to have been working for the last couple of weeks - I still need to ask someone for help with this :-)
