Something Wicked This Way Comes...

...Except it doesn't I just really like Shakespeare.

OKAY.

So this last week was spent screen printing symbols. I currently have six in my little catalogue and have cut quite a few of them out and have placed them on the large, map-like structure currently hanging on the wall in my studio space.

Currently, it looks like this:

I am not entirely sure where to go with this now. It is probably too soon to tell, since I finally got it all up in an arrangement I am pleased with about four hours ago, so I guess I should mull it over and see where it goes. 

I was also able to talk to Nigel Poor today for a short time. She seemed to think that I am trying to create some sort of language, which seems pretty apt, considering all of the work I have been doing this quarter. She also caught on to the fact that I am extremely interested in light and time, which was incredibly pleasing. Ultimately, though, I feel like I am trying to create some sort of language or symbol system, I'm just not exactly sure what I am trying to say. 

As a side project, I've started working on this mapping project dealing with the United Kingdom and the various fictional places that have been created within it. It's still very rough and I'm not exactly sure what I am doing, but tomorrow I should have a giant film made of a blank map of the UK, and something screen-printing related will happen to it within the next week.
