What does a platform in space do? What does it evoke? What psychological effect do hanging ropes have? Maybe a smart PhD candidate can tell us, but the least you can do is answer this for yourself.
And this is why you play in the model.
Make a stone, stick it in the model, put light on it, and ask people to react.

Starting the distillation of Fornes’ “Drowning” with a spine and collage, set to Fiona Apple’s “Container”
This song haunts me and already haunts this project.

Sleep
I already feel like I need naps. I need to make space for naps immediately in a way that works with my schedule, because I am simply not going to sleep early enough. Navigating grad life while living with a domestic partner.

Week 1 in Review
The scheduling was definitely a mess. I didn't stick to my time blocking, but the first week is always wonky. I'll try again with the same blocks the second week.
The usual feelings of "I'll never have a brilliant idea again" flooding in at the beginning of projects. And why do I care about that?
Reminding my self to center mistakes, roll around in my process, center myself. Not get hung up on doing things right.
I find it hard to feel good about a process when I'm unclear on the priorities and expectations.
I try to respond a fair amount during discussion, but it doesn't seem to be the right responding based on the nonverbal feedback. Should I ask more questions or posit more "I think" statements? Should I keep things brief or detailed? What does it mean when I feel like I can't respond as myself?
The longer conversations go, the deeper they get. But you've got to start somewhere and it is important to get the beginning thoughts and details out of the way.
I feel there are some things I can't get away with saying—certain questioning of the teacher or of a premise. I'm glad I have some nonwhite, nonmale classmates that speak up.

Beginning: Year 1: Week 1
Start longterm projects the day they are assigned.
Wake up at the same time every day. Go get 10 min of sun in your eyes.
Get better at fast, focused reading.
Keep up with extracurricular reading.
Timeblock schedule and reflect weekly.
