 October 7 Update

What did I do this week?

I continued my ceramic creations as outlets for ideas, the terms 'enfants cosmic' is something I am playing with for a vase I'm creating and may use that as inspiration for my animations. I have been drawing lots. I have hit a rut in my animation process with the newsprint and marker so I decided to continue my reels I've been making. As well as try Anna Firths crosshair tutorial - https://www.annafirth.com/calartshair

I'm still reading Naked Lunch, thinking lots about vignettes and how they can be used. This will come useful for when I want to edit sound which I should really start thinking about since it'll be a big part of my work. 

Amanda sent me this animation https://vimeo.com/67457641 The Pirate of Love. I really love how they mix live video with animation! I just might use this in my thesis... so many ideas...

I have also been intrigued by the idea of hotels, I don't think I'll use this for my thesis but I'm fascinated by how they are holding places for all types of people of all ages in foreign places. I may begin The Hotel by Sophie Calle as suggested to me by a friend.

THE MAKEUP - I have become obsessed with this band

Woodcut I made for my relief class that may be relevant:

For next week?

I'd like to begin a long sequence that I can continue for a couple weeks, everything I have done so far has been relatively short with endings that makes it so that I can composite them together in any order. This is nice but it feels it has no purpose, I will plan an animation with more of a story that I will aim to make around 30sec, I will still combine it with my others but perhaps this one could be almost a 'bridge' in the thesis.
