Bob came by on Friday and did some documentation video for me. It turned out pretty well, I think. Much better than anything I'm capable of alone. But the more I look at those pieces the more I dislike them. I'm at a point in my line of thinking now that makes the way I tried to go about those ideas seem really unsuccessful. I think they are nice ideas still and some things could be done to improve what's there. I want to start to make new things. I should wait until after I talk with Susan and Steve though. They came by Friday while we were shooting to see the work in person. They didn't stick around long because they didn't want to be bothersome. Susan invited me over to dinner and a little crit sometime. Just from the little they mentioned while they were there, I'm looking forward to discussing my work and art more with them. Susan seems really set on getting me into a good grad school. It's nice to have a teacher that takes that kind of personal interest in you.

I have no idea where or how I'm going to work now. The things I had to move out of the studio now take up the little space that may have been available in my house to work. My house now seems cluttered. That's not going to help my creative impulses either. I'm going to have to take over a corner in 102, I think. I have nearly no other choice unless I can find some really cheap studio space. I'll just go buy my first sheet of plywood for this quarter and follow it, and see where it decides to live. I'll set up shop there.
