The sunsets are part of my search for a connection to Heaven and my mom. I'm trying to photograph the sunset each night at around the same time (between 9 and 10:30pm) but i've missed some nights and not every night is a worthy sun set. I'm not entirely sure what form the final presentation will take just yet.
With this search for Heaven I had an idea about interview people, possibly kids, asking what they think Heaven is or what it looks like. It could be an interesting social video project. And the next in that series would be an investigation into what is a "family." And questioning/challenging the traditional ideals. It would also be a way of trying to find peace and finding a way to deal with the disruption within my own family.
But on a more lighter note. I want to continue with 6 word stories as funny little truisms. This is a more immediate project that I can work on starting here and finishing back home. At the moment I'm thinking of things being very text based so looking at artists like Jenny Holzer, Ed Ruscha...I even like the use of text from one of the artists we saw today in at the Galway Arts Centre, Stephen Brandes. This also gives me a chance to exercise my humor so i'm not getting too depressed with thoughts of death and afterlife.
Another funny project is my flow chart/concept map on the creative process. It was suggested to me that I could make other concept maps for the other problems that I've been working through.
I've also been starting to think about my artist statement. Most of my work since I've started school could fall under the topic of lost & found, in various contexts of meaning. This could still be applied to the ideas i'm working on now. Being lost, experiencing lost. Searching, trying to find....myself, my path, my mom, etc. This may lead me to using Alice in Wonderland for my altered myth/story project for the space and place art history class. Possibility. What other stories involve being lost? Wizard of Oz?
