Class Identities 2/25/08 and 2/27/08

Viewed identity projects in class and talked bout sources for inspiration and the importance of research in art work. I unerstand the value of research and sourcing, it's like argueing a case in court you must have evidence of how and why you arrived where you did. Sometimes though i think we shold just guess and not validate but forge forward like an innocent with no idea of past or present only complete and utter awareness and acceptence of now. I like many other artist appropriate images and ideas from all around me, I also think it important to cultivate an inner dialogue that reveals personal mythologies instead of always seeking outside ourselves. I believe there are more answers and even more questions in each of us alone than in all the computers in all the world. The inner landscape is one we must travel if we are to make our way in the material world.
