Big Ideas

I want to create collages for each of these big ideas to keep in my journal, so I'm in the process of collecting images and I'm hoping to uncover some artists who explore these concepts in the process.  For now, here are some jumping off points.

1. Absurdity


2. Territory/Proximity

3. Glimpses/Moments/The Beauty of a Second (an important lesson about learning to look/notice/see.)





4. Obsolescence

5. Diversity/Stereotypes




 6. Collections (Why we collect and what our collections say about us.)

Some other ideas include...
*Cultivation and Wilderness
*Natural Elements
*Mystery
*Superstition
*The Sacred
*Restlessness
*Mythos (personal or cultural)
*Secrets
*Epiphany
*Abundance, especially the dichotomy between abundance and scarcity
*The Romanticization of Memory, Nostalgia
*The juxtaposition of actual and virtual experiences, communication etc.
*Innocence
*Home
*Expectations
