Since I've been so diligent, I'll keep doing a weekly update for those of you who aren't around to see my work.
In CFC III we're still working on our terrariums. I have everything I need except wood, screws, some other hardware pieces & rope. Well, and the compost that Rebekah is going to give me. I'm growing 6 different kinds of herbs. I just need to assemble it (some electrician work required). I will probably go to Home Depot today to pick up what I need. We turned in our first long assignment in Human Body as an Armature. I did a piece based off the lyrics "I'm a fountain of blood/In the shape of a girl." I think that the idea was really good, but I am having some technical difficulties. I really want to install it in a space where I can work on it over time, which should happen soon (I'll explain in a minute). I also need to rework how I route the tubing because that was a factor in the issues. I also want to get a bigger basin. In Aztec, Maya, & Inca Civilizations we're almost done talking about the Aztec already. We have a test this Thursday. I'm a little nervous because that is 1/3 of my grade and you never know if professors are going to throw you for a loop. The class seems far too straightforward. I need to gather materials for recycling. We're using materials to make forms, which I'm really excited about. I want to do something thing and stringy (but maybe with more form like a piece of wire or string with a lot of tension on it). I'm not really sure yet (hence needing to go foraging). We got into a long talk about Cradle to Cradle and recycling, which I really enjoyed. Video Dance is awesome. We watched my first piece (which is a little jenky on the editing if you ask me) and I got some good feedback. Terri said she could see me expanding it and I agree with her completely. I haven't actually touched my Power Center footage yet (which is probably really bad). We also filmed a dancer in class and I'm really excited about that because she did some amazing improvisations and our camera at least caught some really cool footage (I'm sure the others did too). Now for the real news. I am opening a gallery in a storage space in Ypsilanti. It's going to be for installations, collaborations, and other people can rent it for the average daily cost I'm paying to use it (TBD). I think this is such an exciting idea and one of my professors is really excited about it too. I already formed a facebook group and invited people who I think would be a supportive base for this project. I think it's going to be an amazing experience. More info later.
