Weekend work!

As I have been reading for my personal research I have discovered a new word, Stimmung which is a sense of intimacy created by a sense of the owner by the furnishings within the room.  This word seems to strike at the heart of my feelings of "Domestic discomfort".  Where does the individual take hold of their place in their surroundings when a space is shared by a multitude of personalities striving to achieve their own sense of comfort?
Philosophy aside, yesterday I continued to work on my rug, and today I am going to try to make maquettes  of domestic interiors with my current concepts to increase my visualization.

Researching Artists

I took a day off before returning full fledged into the work routine to start getting my art life in focus, and today has been spent listening to critiques and researching artists that were recommended.  I loved the installations by Charles Ladray, and Rachel Perry Welty.  I also appreciate how unpretentious Ladray is about his work....

In Boston

Squeezing in a few moments in the computer lab, because the internet at the hotel I am staying in keeps stopping after a few minutes.  So far everything has gone very well; although the walk to the MFA was very cold!  I was very thankful that we did not have any snow!!

  I will post some pictures as soon as I get back to Indy.
