I think for this project, I spent a lot of time thinking about the concept, and maybe not enough time physically creating the piece.  Thinking about progress led me to think about lack of progress, and how people can often have a lot of potential, but then don’t actualize it because of laziness or other problems.  Which led to the garbage can of given up dreams, which is filled with origami stars, scraps of paper, as well as scraps from making the project itself.  I definitely overestimated the sturdiness of my layered Matte Medium membrane, and if I decide to use that technique again, I’d have to use a lot more layers to get the structure I wanted.  So I guess this assignment has been a learning experience and has helped me progress as an artist.
