recap. mostly for myself.

I was talking to Lira and Kelly after class and Lira reiterated that I should focus on a story!!! behind my piece (rather than having it be just an art piece - I think Maria mentioned that). I told them I had been thinking about interviewing my 13 year old cousin and her friends, who live in California. Somehow she found me on myspace and sent me a message out of the blue, which was kind of creepy but at the same time really great 'cause I'm sort of out of touch with some of my family in California. Katie also sends me text messages every once in a while, which kind of goes along with the "Like, OMG" and dialogue bubbles. As I was saying earlier today, while the images that I've chosen are definitely super girly, they're also somewhat self indulgent. So ultimately, I think directing the process toward an end use and further conceptual development will be what I focus on.
