It’s Saturday, and I have had quite a day. I wouldn’t be able to point out any one thing from today to sum it up, rather, it’s been a hodgepodge of strange events, sharp contrasts, old memories gurgling, and artistic ambition calling.
The most important thing I did today was hang out at the Sculpture Garden by the Walker. I have been thinking a bit about what I want the cover of Someotherville to look like, and I had an idea. Let me go get my notes, and I will tell you what I was thinking:
Make a scale model of the Irene Hixton Whitney Bridge and the Sculpture Garden out of yarn and wire, both knit and crochet.
Steps: Measure and inventory – 10-17-09 11 am
One of my regular footsteps = 1 (one stitch???)
For park, walk, keep track of where sidealks go. For sculptures, walk around them, as clas as possible, estimate hight, sketch.
Don’t use the Internet. Do the math myself. If it’s not perfect, that’s ok. Loring? Maybe trail off like an apron – part f loring, but certainly not all.
When this is done, photo of my version = cover art.
Tday I was thinking of some new project, if each step we take in life is like a stutch, we could map a day = wat to do with thime in car, though? Yarn would just stretch loose until the next place – stitch where your feet hit the groind” Stimfferer to make yarn math up woth roads? Or wire? could do this sti hing on a street map…
I was just thinking of how I feel more and more that I am turning into an artist, and I look up to see:
A sketch I did while sitting in the car next to Loring Park
