Process Diagram

After receiving feedback, I created a process Diagram that was an attempt to dissect our core motivations in why we chose our twenty-five items. I learned that the “topic” I chose was less of a focus, and more of a control parameter—allowing me to gather a variety diverse items.

I started to realize that in my collection I left much of the result up to chance, and that chance is a theme that has repeatedly occurred in my work. From this I decided on the topic I wanted to reasearch… chance.

The Original Collection

This exercise marks the beginning of my research of the topic I will be exploring for the rest of the year. For Paul Sahre and Lindsey Ballant’s Senior Project Class at The School of Visual Arts, we were asked to gather a collection of 25 items. Not knowing what I wanted to collect, I gathered a variety of ideas, and started to explore them, but nothing seemed to grab my interest. I finally decided to go to a specific area (Alphabet City, New York City) and see what grabbed my interest. I decided to focus on a specific feature in my items— their color. My collection is a search for blue in the previously defined area.
