Wild Reading

That was a series of direct statements, which were very logically presented, yet entirely unsubstantiated. I'm a little unsure!

Some cool elements i noted:

1) We feel aware of being alive which makes us happy. We can't represent life in art because it's too big and dimensionless, but we can represent our happiness at being alive. I think this is what i'm going to be doing with my various pieces in this class -- representing my joy that we're alive and demonstrating trick that our brain and perceptual system used to keep us that way!

2) We are born as verbs rather than nouns. I love this, and it is never really explained but needs not be. We will change, and through living we represent potential for growth, more than form that changes. the only thing static in our lives is the fact of life. We are like a traffic jam that propagates endlessly even though its source is long-gone, and even though the individual cars that make it up change, the jam will continue to be, in a formless mass that nonetheless has form.

3) Things done by decision without inspiration will become undone. New Years Resolutions anyone? This is so true.
