I have found a happy accident occurring when I order images in books. I organized my color book according to concept instead of form. I had no idea the outcome would seem so natural. Of course , all the photographs were of houses, and it just so happened to match up really well. I organized the color arrangements and theory studies accordingly to complexity of the idea as well as chronologically.

I didn't order them formally on purpose but they seemed to connect in extremely natural ways. Probably partially a real miracle but maybe could become a controlled process that could be utilized in the future.

I feel like the bit map would be the best choice for my shapes. I have alot of tonal changes in my mark combos that I definitely do not want to loose in vector shapes. It very well may be a useful thing to try a hybrid but that will take some experimentation.

when I went to my review on monday...

I just realized how much I am affected by fear of failure. When I saw Jamie and Michael sitting there it seemed as though I was talking to my parents after the first time I ever did something really outlandishly wrong. Like the first time I got caught drinking by my parents.

Well, thats not who they are. My problem is•••I need to see that like my parents, they are here to help (not to baby-set(or by me things for christmas( or teach me to tie my shoes). The same problem occurred last year with Jim Sajovic, the painter. He was an amazing teacher but seemed incredibly critical. No matter how hard I tried there was no pleasing him indefinitely. His words were much more helpful at the end of the year that the beginning (his words never changed).

I guess I'm saying that I know now that it may not be about pleasing them, but really about working through the project and finding as many solutions that make sense and get the message to viewers across the board. 

Jamie and Michael have clarified to me that I haven't been one two overlook form, but sometimes translation is overlooked. This is a problem. If I can translate better what I need to say, I would be pleased and the teachers will be pleased.

Hope to come to a point soon where I feel comfortable talking in critique. It would be nice to make that situation a natural thing for me. To address form and concept for me is to much like saying two words at once.

––––––this is why I have decided to start writing more.

then I dont have to say two words at once because Its more of a time sequential activity than thinking is.

Osmium is supposed as the densest of all metals on the periodic table. It is hard to make, and becomes brittle. This is because it is a volatile substance, or a substance that fluctuates often and becomes unstable. It is both manufactured as a biproduct of nickel and copper and found in natural sources. Regardless of where it is found, it must usually be seperated or extracted from other elements bound to it. Osmium is used for its strength and resistance to wear in the types of fountain pens, electrical contacts, and needles on a phonograph. But the oddities of Osmium go further still as Osmium is a strong oxidant, and it cross-links lipids reacting with unsaturated carbon carbon bonds, which can fix biological membranes in place in tissue samples while staining them. This is why Osmium contains a high density of electrons. This makes it a prime candidate for transmission electron microscopy studies of biological materials. TEM is the creation of images through the transmission of electrons through a specimen and interacting with it. This image is then magnified, focused and recieved on some sort of screen of film.   Osmium is a blue gray color.

Osmium is also used for any number of surgical implants and pacemakers for its resistance to wear. Since we trust it for so many life cradling jobs, Osmium seems to have found a very unique occupation in human history, mostly for strength and high content of electrons. It makes me curious to think how one substance can be responsible for all these applications but it makes sense that unique characteristics would be put to use in order to create a logical efficient system of thinking.

Jamie, here are my iterations I like. Still one more on the way after I get out of class.
