Four by four
During the first year of graduate school, I was excited by a surplus of concepts but perceived a need for an improved strategy to record and compare separate ideas. Loosely returning to a sketchbook format I developed Four by four. I considered 4” x 4” roughly the size of a single thought or a single sentence. This size was between the standard format of a 3” x 3” post-it note and 3” x 5” index card. The goal of this project was to function as an idea filter. I allowed myself total freedom in regards to subject matter and materials but restricted the format. Individual pieces referred to a variety of inspirations. Installed together the overall intent of the piece was confusing for the viewer. However, as an idea filter the project proved successful and I was easily able to compare and contrast successful choices of materials and imagery.
