Musings about transit in communication.

I understand transit as the distance allowed to an emitter between thought and verb, this fictitious hallway where thoughts are filtered, will always be affected by the emotional context enveloping the emitter.

I suppose there are no fixed formulas to activate or facilitate the sorting of this series of emotional complexities which will give rise to either contention or fluidity. Words such as baring or untying come to my head from the collective imaginarium. Words directly related to comunication. Baring implies an act of transparency, untying, the decision to overcome any conflict to transmit what one wishes.

This is how we tie and untie, show and hide, this is how we retain and let go.

Getting Dirty

I'm only four days into thesis, but hey, I actually don't feel too stressed out yet.. as a matter of fact, I am really liking this whole material exploration aspect of things.  I've had the opportunity to really get my hands dirty and experience the wonders of varying tactile materials.  Today, I joined the Throwing Club at our school.  The people in the ceramic studio are wonderful.  They were laid back, patient and shared a love for yummy home baked goods.

 Throwing clay is such a meditative process.  I think I might just go back tomorrow.
