On Friday after I made my last update, I met up with one of my advisors, Tam LaValla. She gave me a lot of ideas about my future pieces. Talking to Tam usually helps me keep the goal of my thesis on track. She pushed me to try and code my website (really nervous about that) so we will see what happens there.
This past weekend, I was fairly productive. I started laying out my site interface in Figma. I made my homemade scented paper and continued progress on my sculpture and packaging aspect. Both are pretty much done and I plan on doing the finishing touches this coming weekend. Here are some process pics:
Today, I met with one of my thesis advisors, Dr. Cothran, to talk about melancholy poetry and point me in the right direction for inspiration and things to pull from. She helped me dissect some poems by Wordsworth and we talked about romantic poets that had the same “mindset” as I do about melancholy. I look forward to digging into the poetry and short books she told me about over break.
This coming week, I’m wrapping up my packaging and sculpture and I will complete my character design and continue working on my website.
