Finally in a good place I think - I've figured out what I want to do (for the most part) and now im sort of in production gear, creating this little hanging pods. I can't say exactly what the piece is supposed to mean...its not SUPPOSED to mean any one thing, which is the kind of art that i like to make. I'm intending more for this installation to feel however it feels to each person that looks at it. I'm hoping that I can achieve the air of intimacy and preciousness that i was, but also allude to some sort of universal...ity. hah.

The last step is kind of figuring out how exactly i want to display the pods...whether they should be in a clump or more spread out, hung at all different heights or whatnot - all the details. Also, something i still need to experiment with is possible having some of the pods somewhat destroyed, or breaking open, or being burst out of by their contents. I don't know what this will look like visually yet because i havent tried it yet, but i think it could add an interesting conceptual element - more action, or conflict, or direction...yet another layer of this mysterious pod community.

Note: the pictures aren't the best quality. Also, I just photographed them as i've been stringing them up in the studio. They will not necessarily be in that same arrangement when they are actually displayed.
