We talked a bit about the key ideas behind you past work.

Words you used that jumped out at me

-       human superiority

-       delicate

-       fragile

-       off balance

 With 'off balance' in reference to your work are you commenting on the off balanceness, illustrating it, trying to fix it?

 Have you tried collecting bits of nature that stand out to you to use?

 I would think about the words Evidence and Fossil

 We also talked about a bunch of things to look at/ try out…

-       try 'collecting' pictures of things/ places/ what have you that illustrate the off balance that you are talking about (the things that drive you to make you work)

-       go to a natural history museum 

 Also check out this link it is Photographs of when the natural history museum in nyc was being constructed THEY ARE FANTASTIC!

 Take a look at Kahn and Selenick, This is the web site buy I definitely recommend finding one of their books, it is part of the experience of the book that makes their work so fantastic.

 Also mentioned was Teun Hocks (this is what came up in a quick google, but I would dig deeper)

 Seeing his stuff made me think of Robert Parke Harrison a little so maybe he's worth taking a gander at.

 Joseph Cornell – specifically the boxes he made (again this is from a quick google search I would dig a little deeper if it sparks your interest)
