so after feeling lost and hating this project for several weeks, things came together really well the night before and morning of critique before spring break. thanks to some of janna's suggestions i finally put things together in a more interesting and effective way. i was pretty excited to get back to work after break as i was at a point where i had a lot of new directions i could take things. following the nuts assignment, i decided to keep working with the space in the sink area. i liked the way the vines worked, some i'm basing my main project off of that, having more material coming in and out of the wall, and blending it with drawing. i'm putting more up in there and incorporating new materials. the other nut i tried was picking a new object and doing essentially what i'd done with the stems and petals before, basically, drawing it a lot. i had a shell left over from some of my source materials so i did some drawings and tried to get the feeling of something curling in on itself, to compliment my earlier drawings which were all about growing out. i don't think its really working for me. if i kept it up i could probably get something new out of this, but i'd honestly rather just focus on my other work, i feel like it's already at an interesting place.
