Connecting

My process was backwards, I drew the axonometric before the hybrids. I am going back to my stories. I am going back to using the thesaurus.

I pulled words and themes from my physical story.
change
decade
anniversary
time
experience
moment
paths

I made matrices in my sketchbook of the words.

In class 2/23

What was said in class today:

We are trying to find the beauty in process.

Do not throw anything away

If you throw pieces away then you will strive for perfection; you will copy or emulate someone else.

The last part is totally true. After my critique all I wanted to do was look up pictures of bird nests and copy them, so I could get it just right. But that is not what this project is about. These lines need to come from our imagination.
