I'm starting to encounter this part of me that's full of doubts. In the beginning I was all about, f**k doubt, and, I'll never doubt me, but I wasn't expecting this semester to challenge me so much and bring me so close to edge. Of course I have the support of my classmates and good friends, but honestly, what good is that if I can't support myself and my work?
I've turned into my harshest critic. I'm the hardest on me and rarely give myself a break. This time around I thought I'd put more focus on my models since they were less than acceptable last time. I find myself working super hard on the extra stuff that the materials which are required fall short. I felt good about the work I had done. Until, of course, I saw the others. I am a huge fan of most of my classmates and they never cease to amaze me. I just wonder if I ever amaze them.
We were asked to take our first space and expand it 50% by adding a space above or below. My original idea was a physical revolution of the solids built, being that my concept word was revolve. The first solid housed a sleeping area and bathing area while the second was for food preparation and consumption. It only made sense to continue this and incorporate a third solid within the added space to house a place for study and concentration. The biggest issue I had was the staircase to get from one space to the next. I took a shelving concept used in the solids and incorporated that into the stairs. I'm not sure if it was the best idea, but it worked for me. I feel that my drawings and model were average but I don't want to be average. I want to be praised and spotlighted for my work. I took a lot of inspiration from Austin Loman and Abigail Buchanan's work. Austin's technical drawings and renderings were amazing while Abigails' model structure techniques were extremely successful.
Maybe one day soon before the end of the semester my work will sit outside the main offices.
