As a continuation to my last post, I realize that most of the "items" my mind first went to when trying to discover who I am have some kind of connection to events of the last year. I think the time period between now and exactly one year ago has been the most important and life altering year of my life thus far, for reasons I don't care to explain in this blog.
I think that if I should walk away from this class with something I am about to put this much work into., it should be something I truly care about. Last semester, I needed to create a piece of installation art, and I dedicated it to a friend I lost last year- something (or someone) I really cared enough about to dedicate an entire semester's work on.
I guess a year is probably not too bad an idea for a book. Like a "yearbook". Except instead of documenting a calendar year, it would be more a documentation/tribute/reflection on what will probably go down as one of the most significant periods in my life.
The list I made earlier wouldn't be a bad place to start. Anecdotes could easily turn into pages. I would just need to figure out some kind of narrative for the book so that it makes sense to viewers.
Or, maybe not. Who is it for, anyway? Me, and the people in my life. It would be a piece of art, after all. In art, I'm always right. So I guess I can't really fail at this.
Definitely NOT a possible title: A Year in the Life
As much as I want to call it that, I must resist the urge.
