Deciding to go off of my old idea about what makes your space "your space", while conversing with a friend and trying to figure out how exactly to make this work - it finally hit me.
What I'm looking to do would be, at first, purely journalistic. I would keep a daily journal about where I am, how I'm feeling, what I'm feeling and why. How do I react to my environment? What am I bringing to that space to help make myself more uncomfortable or what's possibly making it uncomfortable?
For each entry, I'd like to work small; do a number of 4"x6" cards (postcard size?) made of bristol board or some other card stock material, and do a piece to possibly put my feelings from that journal entry into physical, tangible art. I could either display them in a scrap book with excerpts from the journal I keep or I thought about making some kind of clothes line display...could be different.
Albeit personal, I feel the best art always comes from personal experience and raw emotion.
