Things That I Am Thinking About In The Studio

• Big animals like Moose and Whales
• Bow and Arrow
  
• When someone is walking far ahead and you can’t tell if they are moving towards you or away from you
  
• Lifting - Throwing - Holding
  
• The acceptance of the constant possibility of nuclear war
• how cars look
• how bridges look
• looking up at tall buildings and feeling like im falling
• when I close my eyes i see video
• rubbing on your eyelids and seeing patterns and colors
• car accidents
• boats and ships
• how long something can be held in tension before entropy causes it to change
• are tension and order the same or different?
• maps can never include every detail of the place it is representing, unless it becomes the place itself
• partial objects
• dreaming about car accidents, dinners, blinding light, my childhood home in super 8, lectures
• what the significance of an individual is compared to a city
• the difference between urban, suburban, rural, and undeveloped 
• deja vu
• how I feel like video, film, tv etc. has trained human vision to see motion in discrete frames or sequences of still images instead of seeing “true” motion
• similar thing about how photography has changed the way the human eye works, our eyes are so infinitely more complex and powerful than cameras but I feel like I just have two cameras on my head
• how big can something get before it falls apart
• Line vs Form
• architecture and video both crystalize a multidimensional thing into an understandable thing 
• that trees are conical
• wood grain
• bicycles
  
• the space between zero and one
• where a city actually begins and ends
• how things that are far away are the same size that they are when you are close to them, they just look smaller
• I can run instead of walk
• big chunks of salt
  
• As above so below, the carpets match the drapes, upside down and all around
  
• kites and kitemaking
• the intensity of tuning a string instrument
• The Yo-Yo
