So things sort of came together two weeks ago, when I had no idea where they were going - and I'm hoping for the same sort of fortune this week, but if it doesn't happen, that's okay. I've built this thing. It's more of a "sculpture" than it is installation, or interactive, which is too bad, because I was hoping to play around with those ideas more. I've just spent a couple hours looking at the thing, so excuse me if I sound a little down, I'm not, really, I'm just feeling a little saturated. The forms I've been focusing on are bulbous ones, pods, seeds, nubs, clumps. I've also continued experimenting with materials, and have been filling condoms with beans for a better half of the week. cooking beans, drying beans, using pre cooked, and pre dried beans, all. To no real avail. I'm feeling a little stuck, but I'm alright with that. It's feeling like a lot of experimentation, but not in a bad way. Because I don't feel like I have to be on a timeline, I'm all right experimenting "creating" a "peice-like" thing, and then if it feels unsuccessful, acknowledging that, and moving on. It's a process, but the process is feeling alright. I'm excited for spring break, when I can work all day without much reason for distraction.
