How do you sketch when you think in motion?
This has been my dilemma for quite some time. I don't think in shapes or how something is built (well sometimes I do but then it's just a material study because all of my work seems to have an idea...and even then I think about how it moves or how I move). I think about how I move when I build it, see it, experience it, perform it. I think about how the material(s) feel in my hands.
I think I am going to start making some "sketches" that are what my body parts are doing when I make something. So if I was working with my hands I would use a different color for each hand and progressively draw what they were doing...pulling tape, cutting, shaping. This could be very interesting...

Hey Laura, it's Donna. I found your blog through our Borrowing Light one, I hope you don't mind!
I was thinking about it, and- how do you feel about tattoos? It's a form of art that's always tied to the body, and depending on the location, can move and change and morph as the body/canvas moves and changes. If the permanence of tattoos is daunting, maybe you could play around with something more temporary like henna? Choreographing something based on the movement of art on the body sounds like something that could be right up your alley.
(While I'm here, I'm going to share my blog with you! You're so artistic that I bet you would have lots of creative thoughts to share on the projects I'm up to.
