The Move to Animation (and its Subsequent Demise) II
In my previous post, I included two possible voiceovers for my now-defunct animation project – a dialogue, and a soliloquy. I decided to go with the soliloquy because it felt much more honest. I started exploring different methods and mediums

The Move to Animation (and its Subsequent Demise) I
While exploring diagrams, I revisited the issue of my relationship with language(s). It stems from my anxiety regarding my “Singaporean voice” and my “American voice,” which I had first explored artistically in my sophomore year. These were the sketches/notes I

Exploring Diagrams as Depictions of the Self II
After that short detour into the ‘Infographic about the Infographic,’ I continued in search of a more holistic and consistent approach to diagrams. If I remember correctly, at the time I was thinking about how I needed this kind of

The Infographic about the Infographic
While I was experimenting with drawing diagrams in order to depict my internal dialogue, I hit a lot of roadblocks – how should I depict the two halves of myself? How should I depict the interaction between the two halves?

Exploring Diagrams as Depictions of the Self
After working on the dialogue as detailed in the last post, I had written an artist statement for another class, and also drew up a preliminary diagram that illustrated certain interests/leanings that I have. In the spring semester, I began

Confessions about Confessing: Stage 2 & 3
This is a follow-up to my last post, in which I introduced a flowchart that I had created to describe my own feelings and insecurities about writing, particularly confessional writing. After showing that chart to Greg, he mentioned that at
