Recently I stayed with an old old friend of mine at her parent’s beach house. I got super excited when I went into my mine and saw this ^.  I gifted this (not so amazing) drawing to her mom a long long time ago. It is crazy nice to think people might actually appreciate your work even when your not around…

~ Side note – - I forgot these existed…

~ For those of you not from the South, this is a joggling board. It is super fun to bounce around on, and that is all that it is for..

I love my porch ~

Some crazy sky views as seen from my front porch. Pollution has a few perks…

Sometimes I wish I was a smoker so I would have mandated outside time.. even when it is freezing cold..

-so my idea didn’t get shot down, so on to stage two.

-connections: public to private space. neighbor to neighbor. interior space to exterior space. confined to open. tense atmosphere to relaxed atmos.

-object that brings people together, promotes social usage, and creates connections.

-find out what people are drawn and sustains their attention.

-trash? neg. vs potentially positive aspects of trash collection. attractive vs. repulsive trash.

-heat. or cooling. or drinks. bribing people to come near.

-an object for huddling around or sitting around. inside or outside.

these are really random thoughts, sorry if they are a little hard to follow.

saw watchmen yesterday. it was hilarious.

“i’m not stuck in here with you, your stuck in here with me!” -Rotheshack.  This idea could work for my project. Turning the tables on seemingly confining environments, how people view space. Flip a neg. connotation into a positive or reverse negative. Make people sacrifice their beloved personal space for something better. connection.
