I took seminar last semester, and while I started with the idea of investigating automotive aesthetics, I ended up working with much more personal ideas related to travel. I designed a series of accordion fold books dealing with a trip my family took in 2004 to CA and back.
In my second semester of seminar I was planning on continuing with the same idea of working with my road trips/travel. I find that I’m always on the road driving somewhere and want to incorporate that into making ‘something.’
I’ve been playing with something I made in bookbinding a year ago…a book made from a single piece of paper. I’m thinking dual sides, or ‘dual’ sides on one side…it can be seen as a book or as a flat sheet of paper.
I’m also working on compiling a list of all the places I’ve gone, mostly on the rally cruises but also as I drive everywhere.
Something I want to work with is the commute I used to do. It was a 30-45min commute one way to school/work six to seven days a week. Almost everyday I took a picture of something, whether it was of my car or of the sunrise or of some random thing I saw while driving. I have all of these pictures uploaded to Facebook, so it has the date I uploaded them, as well as misc comments from people. I can use this information somehow…
