A metaphor to the functioning of the brain.......
How we may easily go on a tangent....and become inspired by our own thoughts....yet how they can become manifested in the brain through visual intake, and the ability to imagine....Amazing......
Forces acting in the installation ---->
Upon entering....you meditate on the image before you...with imagery and sound combined, you then seek a gateway in the fence....it begs you to enter to the other side...as you can vaguely see through- the light shining through the sheer hanging fabric....you enter...................
and you experience.
still being influenced by the outside world....that you just came from...yet experiencing a separate reality or figment of imagination....
could this be seen as a Narrative?

con-tem-plate
more contemplations.....
[I am glad to be able to spend some quality time being able to get in touch with my BFA show, and the art that it will present. Unfortunately during the school year you get so bombarded by multiple projects, that you lose touch of your true inspiration. You become inspired by the new information being learned, but ideas that have been "soaking" for awhile get lost; especially in regards to a specific project, mine being my final BFA show. I will have all summer to get in touch with the elements of my BFA show. My main concern right now is the content. Especially in regards to the imagery and sound...... this summer i will turn into an investigator of these two elements that will be an evident element in the installation created.]
SOUND.....
I don't want the sound to become irrelevant. Because I am creating a "world" where you are able to take part in a dualistic experience of reality and the unknown, or unconscious (or subconscious?).... I want the sound to reflect this.
One day I was going to class and a "hum" in the wind reminded me of a meditative chant, later to realize this "meditative chant" was the echo of a lawn mower. If something so mundane as a lawnmower could make such a sound, what could I do by using sound editing software?
Knowing musicians, and being an enthusiast myself, I would like to create my own sounds. The "track" will be formed by mundane sounds, and instrumental experimentation. I will become a collector of sounds...(as I am already a collector of images). It will be strictly experimental, but in a sense trying to create an ambient sound. The inspiration comes from musicians in my life, and the artist in myself, that yearns to create music, though I cannot play an instrument - unless you consider a few organ cords, tap dance rhythms, finger snaps, and sing-a-long attempts? (lets just say I'm not a "serious" musician. More of an enthusiast . An experiment, for sure!
Title?
...thought of a title today... IN-TAKE
----- play on words? metaphorical?
comes from the idea that you will be drawn "in" to the other side, to pass through a "threshold" as Jillian referred, and experience another side. "Take" is to "take-in" the ambient and immersible environment to find an ESCAPE.
It will be an ESCAPE!

Create a World : a big fat mess (obvious frustrations)
Today, the discussion of my BFA ponderings has lead to some important functioning within my installation.
These video inspire me to what is possible for the video to be projected onto the photograms.
Imagery- how does imagery play out meaning? DC suggests that there be some logical order of the images. How do they form a cohesive meaning...or suggest something, without becoming TOO random.
The other side of the fence- what is on the other side? Since the viewer is asked to become a participator and venture to the other side of the "passage" what will they encounter?
-plaster formed ducks- laser cut dead roses- El Wire smiley face- (shrine- of gathered objects)- how do i work with the walls (paint & protrusion), ceilings (hanging things) "Please, come to the other side, and let your curiosity become exploited"-
Explanation of the Fence and how it contributes. I have been pondering a reworking of the fence and how it plays with the drawing in of the viewer. As if to enter a world that is not tangible, thought I am making it tangible by creating this installation.The other side of the fence- what is on the other side? Since the viewer is asked to become a participator and venture to the other side of the "passage" what will they encounter?

Explorations for BFA
Goals
-create a mood / change the mind of the viewer / alter their current state of consciousness
-encourage interaction
- engulf a space in fantasy
- suggestive imagery lends to thought
- visual illusion
______________
from the initial set up of the cyanotype photograms, and the fence
(*thought- place a small area for people to walk through to the other side of the hanging cyanotype photograms, create small door in fence, "beware of dog", this allows the viewer to enter to the back side of the installation, here the perception has changed, as they may vaguely be able to see the onlookers on the other side, and the streams of this from the projection.)
(*thought 2- swirly of mandala like shapes create with particular imagery, send a "trance" visual into the viewer)
(*thought 3- paint the walls in the space, so that there is black and white happening, like a radial patter, such as the cliche radiations from a sun, coming from the center [or near center] of the room, this will play with the effect of the black light, as well a perception of the viewer, may possibly encourage the viewer to peer inward, to literally be "drawn" into the symbolic sky as video projections function with it.)
(*inspiration- Ethan Turpins video feedback loop, a participatory element is encouraged through participation with the projection. RESEARCH)
