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!
