kathryn blair Now that I must come up with ideas for work on my own, I wanted to look back on the work I had already completed and determine what issues I had gravitated towards within the frameworks of the projects; I found that the most commonly recurring themes were thought and cognition. I can now work with these concepts in more depth, with the goal of understanding why I gravitated to them so consistently. What I have discovered in this process is that I’m very interested in the “space” just beyond what I understand. I can’t speak about that “space” specifically -- these are ideas that I think must exist, or spaces on the outside of ideas I’ve read about, or ideas insinuated by poems or fiction, that could be understood, but that I can’t completely wrap my mind around yet. Thus, I cannot “speak” thoroughly about these “spaces”, and I’ve found that most of my reading on these subjects doesn’t satisfy me; I am left feeling like there’s something in the space that I still don’t completely understand that is important.
and see you next year
