thee beginning of all things thesis


I have not been writing all too regularly these past few weeks but I'd like to get in the habit of doing so, especially as I begin to further develop my thesis into something tangible.  At the university, one's thesis work can embody a variation of thoughts, ideas, mediums - regardless of the program one is enrolled - as long as the process and finished components seek to provide an answer to a question/ problem posed at the beginning of the term.  The subjects I am most interested in exploring are accessibility, communication, language, inclusive and universal design.  Through the translation of these interests into object form, I'd like the work I create to evoke themes of dignity, fragility, and vulnerability while remaining sensitive to the ideas I am addressing.

In its most simple form, communication is most often referred to as the interchange of information through the form of language, speech, writing or signs.  Our cultures and communities thrive on human interaction and communication; our senses playing an integral role in informing the ways in which we interact and formulate discussions with one another.   Communication depends on rhythm; both in terms of the ordered arrangement in which we convey our thoughts, to the actual reoccurring intervals with which we communicate.    I have become seemingly interested in how we communicate with one another as humans and people of various cultures and abilities. I am curious (and excited) to see where these thoughts might progress over the next few days/ weeks/ and months.
