i feel like more of a voyeur than an artist. should i ban myself from this forum? the closest thing i'm doing to "art" right now is writing letters, and playing viola. i don't know why i think those things don't "count". i think i still get stuck in that school mentality where everything has to mean something and exploring is just the throw away stuff.

i will try to do something postable this week. we'll see. sometimes i think it's just not where i am right now, and sometimes i think everything we do could be "art" in some sense...i have learned that i tend to only focus well on one thing at a time so i don't want to get so caught up in "making" that i don't get my studying done.

was that just a list of excuses? sorry. does anyone know how to post sound? i might have to do it as a blank video, which just seems silly...

i love seeing what you guys are doing though. tori, it adds such an extra dimension to hear you talk about what inspired that locust piece, and i love that it's something that people are drawn to whether they know the inspiration behind it or not.

lisa, i really like the ones with the scaffolding. you managed to take something so mundane and industrial and make it kind of dreamlike. it's funny that you found those similar shapes to the ships you were doing before. there's a nice flow to that.

okay i am assigning myself something like homework so i can hopefully join in the fray. goodnight.
