For this visualization, I set it up like my sketchbook. Of course, I had this idea now! Perhaps I’ll go back into my old visualizations and redo them to be set up similarly. In my sketchbooks, I have four swatches of paint based on the colors I’m feeling. What I did for this visualization was look at the sketchbook experiences as a whole and choose four of the most prominent places I visited multiple times and choose a color the best represented those times. Home, outside, work and other. Other was a combination of some places I visited only once. I looked at the words that I had written down and compiled them around the color. I color coded them just like my last two visualizations. I started to notice that warmed colors make me feel more comfortable. In this visualization, I only focused on words and feelings associated with the places. In the next visualization, I think I may take a more specific approach and group the words based on their meaning. Place really does affect how you feel in a space. It affects me based on how many people are around, how I’m feeling, how the space is set up and if I have been in that space before. Each time I went back to a place I felt something new based on varying factors. Even though I spent generally the same amount of time in each space, I didn’t have the same outcome each time. It became more like a reflection time and encouraged me to look around and just notice. Notice how I was reacting in the space and how the space was reacting to me, especially in public places.

  1. Taylor,
    I can see the connections and alignment with the previous versions. I’m wondering how you might polish this as stand-alone work vs. a sketch book exploration. For example how might you leverage the works you have been conducting “in places” [i.e. the artwork you are making in the various places you’ve discussed in your proposal] and then pulling/selecting/cutting from them as pieces that “visualize” / “illuminate” these notions as a form of visual code? Also, where/when might the journaling data be incorporated/utilized in these visualizations? Where/how might your embodied experience be explored in relation to these places – how might you visualize this effectively and complexly?
    I’m looking for more – continue to push the inquiry and the respective manifestations.
    Kevin
