glass menagerie final model
I had a lot of fun lighting this model. It was interesting to go back and explore the show from a different perspective. I wanted to create a space that was ethereal but at the same time had the menacing and heavy presence of a collapsed building. The structural elements are inspired by rays of light through a fire stair. I think if I take more photos, I would have some with the background structures totally blacked out, which I think would help soften the space.
Working on "The Hothouse" by Harold Pinter next.

over the verbosity
Do I hate this project because it's too theoretical or just because I don't get it?

...going to have a series of these with the people's thoughts explaining the intentions behind the spaces.
...will make a bird's eye view with people walking around and little dotted trails behind them showing circulation paths. Continue

They're the best real estate team in SC, so I'm excited to spread my geisha wang-ness...ps i need to make a tranny book on lulu from that night. I'm sad that i have to dress semi-conservative-ish and not show any leg:(

blast from the past
Less literal. More emotional.
(Crappy) photo of my design from two years ago:
mooresy va reading project
"When insomnia, which is the philosopher's ailment, is increased through irritation caused by city noises; or when, late at night, the hum of automobiles and trucks rumbling through the Place Maubert causes me to curse my city dweller's fate, I can recover my calm by living the metaphors of the ocean. We all know that the big city is a clamorous sea, and it has been said countless times that, in the heart of the night in Paris, one hears the ceaseless murmur of flood and tide. So I make a sincere image out of these hackneyed ones, an image that is as much my own as though I myself had invented it, in line with my gentle mania for always believing that I am the subject of what I am thinking."

How many lines does it take?
A product of boredom during yesterday's review. Also, my studio professor is from Argentina and every time he says "Hokay guys" I have Juan-Carlos flashbacks.

HEYGUYSIT'SBEENTOOLONGWESHOULDCATCHUP. all of us. (I stole to keep it going)
I am taking "the material fringe" this semester which is a workshop that discusses the underlying theories of material, their effect, and their sensibility. We discuss past and current concepts regarding this subject through readings while learning the analytical and digital tools needed to approach this subject physically (Maya, Grasshopper, CNC). My group and I have chosen shredded paper as material to explore from wood ends, wood block, glass cullet, retired asphalt shingles and bark. A form work will also be explored in the same way to support and fuse the CNC with the untraditional material. The final development will be approximately the size of a door or small wall, but there is not a real limitation. Color and its application will be generated for the final construction, as well. If you have a tumblr we to post regularly to update the class. Follow aqui http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/materialfringe . I will post photos of initial explorations soon.

A storm rolled in from across the plains and emptied itself in the Mississippi..
Night lightning. Continuous shutter @ 1-second intervals over 2+ minutes.

There are dark calms and frying jolts like an argument between clouds.
The light is silent but the darkness growls.
(And in all things, patterns, how recharging cloud energy is bundled in the dark lapses,
how the seconds between light and thunder measure the distance between you and all that violence.)

so. i'm in an experimental radio course this semester. it's a vpa studio dedicated to the exploration of sound (recording, editing, manipulating, podcasting, etc). you can play along with us at our class blog. you'll find all of our listening assignments there (which we discuss each week), as well as our class podcasts (eventually). we have our first "track" due tomorrow, which is comprised only of field recording done last week. hoping to use some podcasting skills for the good of the collective quite soon.
