Time is passing too quickly. The conundrum of research as project continues...how to meet and discuss and be critiqued on loosely woven findings alone? I need to improve on articulating the connections that I see and want the viewer to find in the various strains of investigation.

As i discuss my progress and the process at the Berwick with Götz, he totally relates....as the one who continually witnesses my process, he is the one who usually wonders what the hell i'm heading toward and how to respond/give feedback.

The idea at the Berwick is to upset/disturb/reinvent/meddle with the process and see what happens. it's an experiment, and it may or may not be a success but i'll certainly learn something along the way.

so, an attempt at how to crystalize some of the nebulous research/thinking/gathering: for our next meeting, I'll have a physical (in the scale model) and/or drawn representation of how the concrete installation could look. this will force me to make hard (tho' momentary) decisions and i will need to be able to explain why i edit and construct as i do.

and i may have a completely different rendering of another outcome at the following meeting. by fleshing ideas out to a more developed stage, I'll have to decide more/learn more, and will provide something actual to discuss.

back to work...
