The first image is a view from my bed. I often lie and think in this exact position, these things in my view all the while. It's a mixture of objects from my past as well as things from the present. I cherish these moments lying in bed scrutinizing my walls and the things that hang on them. I yearn to catalog a memory of my life at this point in 2008 by doing so. I want nothing more than to look back with vivid memory of the things happening around me in 2008. I want to remember feelings and events and my ideas on life at this certain point. I also find interest in the patterns made by the objects in the background and they seem reminiscent of those in Zak Smith's work as well as those in Hope Gangloff's. I am working to achieve that sort of interest in my own work, and I often am reminded of those artists and their works as I lay in bed pondering. So I've decided it fitting to add this photo to my blog. Just a reminder of the fact that even the smallest trinkets in my room are important in what makes me, Heather Haukoos.
The second photo is one I've been meaning to take for a long time now and hadn't until just the other day. This is a photo of the shower curtain in a restroom on my floor. Bathrooms are rooms that fascinate me and it seems Jensen Hall has an overabundance of them. Not only an overabundance of bathrooms, but really interesting ones. The objects and shapes often contrast so well with the lighting and herein I'm sold that bathrooms are some of my favorite rooms. Perhaps it's because the bathroom in my house growing up was often the warmest room in the winter or maybe it's because I have fond memories of bath-time as a child. Perhaps I over analyze and there's not much rhyme or reason other than the fact that I really like captivating shapes contrasted with light. All I know is I am glad I finally took this photo.
