Trying to organize.

These past few days I have been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking about what it is that I am doing with my work. Thinking about my sources. Thinking about points of intrigue. About processes. About where I want to go with it all. About this impending senior exhibition. There are a lot of thoughts, you see, and I think they are beginning to drive me slightly mad. It might also have something to do with the recent over abundance of time I've been spending alone. It's left me more time than ever to get lost in these thoughts. For better or for worse-- I still haven't been able to determine. Maybe creating this blog has been, in part, a way to alleviate some of these built up frustrations.

So I thought I'd write down a list of some of the things I consider sources of inspiration/ things of interest/ constants in current work. Maybe I'll find some connections. Maybe not.

I think I'll update this every now and then. See how it evolves. If it even does. I think it might.
