I tried to consider the shots and transitions more. Also I want the story to flow so that it will hold someones attention but still give enough truthful information about the characters personalities.

Decided to move on to metal to support the glass and mirror work. This week, I plasma cut the sheets down to size. Later this week, I'll be welding them together and sand blasting them, then a paint job. yip yip.

I have begun working on a larger piece that will be an installation space.

I was for quite some time stuck, unsure where i'd like to go from making formal structures, which spawned from an interest in architecture. I had explored it in small scale, but discovered that I would like my investigation to be done on a much larger scale which will be able to actually behave as an architectural space and have the viewer enter it.

I thought about what it is I am attracted to in terms of architecture and space. which is the space's ability to dictate our senses in a very primal way. We are instinctually aware of the architecture we enter, or see, wether it is claustrophobic, spacious, comforting etc. It creates a bodily feeling (on the senses) through the experience of the space. This thought led me to a personal interest I have with the symbolic and esthetic icon of the womb as a structure. A primal space/architecture that we have collectively experienced in a non-cognitive way, but I believe the structure has significance in relation to intimacy and collective memory/ cognition.

I have put some samples of videos that I would like to use, not necessarily in this format exactly. The imagery I am trying to use is that of movement through an emotional "blueprint" which speaks of life in terms of voyeurism and intimacy.

I apologize if the video is acting weird i'll try and repost it, but keep in mind this only samples and it has no sound.

This week I made two walls that will be used as a platform for a piece next week. I wanted to use walls because in their functional state they are used to outline and contain space, as a platform they maintain the same function but in its collapsed form. I began working with a larger paint pocket, but it ended up exploding and did not turn out the way I expected. I think next week I will either tweak this piece (an attempts to catch a contracting form with a vulnerable and contained body) or move on to another piece with non explosive paint pockets. I am beginning to understand that what I want to achieve is an archive of material's own functions and boundaries- how can a form be in a functional state and decaying/fleeting state at once- and also how does the process of creation speak to expansion and contraction. I think with these things in mind I will be able to better understand the subtle relationships and alterations that are needed to make a more holistic piece.

I've been working on collecting the keepsakes of people close to me.
Each time I proposed the concept of the project to someone they instantly knew what they wanted to give me.
I'm thinking about making the boxes more specific to each oject- mostly in the size.
An i also did anticipate how beautiful each object would be.
Before each person gave the object they held onto it and told me the whole story behind why they kept it before handing it away to me. Because of this personal portion and this responsibility i feel towards keeping this keepsakes for them i'm unsatisfied with the previous box design and am trying to reconcile with what they should actually look like now.

This is the documentation of the boxes I made the week before break.
My personal objects are boxed away insides the boxes made of plywood.

I've been thinking about heavy materials, maybe because I really love concrete, and how material in general can influence work. I made another pair of "heels" using concrete but they are still in progress. The concrete seemed to be a better material choice while still maintaining the impermanence or "breaking point" that the previous shoes had; I wanted something that is wearable but also deteriorates as it is worn. The concrete version is still in progress because they aren't easily wearable yet. I'm thinking of maybe redoing them and staying closer to the original form of just a heel and some ankle supports/clasps to keep them in place when walking.
I've also been consumed with this idea of carrying myself and finding a way to carry or move my own weight. The shoes are a good start because they support the entire weight of my body at one point but I'm considering creating an object that is equal in weight to myself that I would move/push around a space in order to wear down on the object a considerable amount if not completely. I'm still trying to decide what material might be best for this; concrete won't deteriorate that easily but I haven't decided if plaster is the best decision or if I'm just considering it out of necessity.
