We've added a few more details to our previous ideas about our project. We plan on putting some personal images on the boxes, and this is to reflect the individuality of each one of the boxes. We might also use cardboard that already has images on it, and we might also make some more powerful images on the center boxes.
Working with the cardboard is really interesting, I never would have thought you could do so much with it. Ripping it seems to create the most engaging lines in my opinion. Putting the boxes together without using any adhesive was really difficult, and easy when I used hot glue. We've all taken different approaches to making the boxes, so they're all going to turn out really different, which is great for our themes.
Even though each of us is making thirteen boxes in total, I'm a little worried that the individuality and uniqueness of each of the boxes will make them too different in size. This might sacrifice the conical shape of the whole thing, but that might not be such a bad trade. There are certainly enough powerful aspects to the piece that it might not necessarily need to be packed with every metaphor we can think of.

Considering your initial concerns, how do you think the piece turned out? Was there a reason you decided against putting personal images on the boxes? I can't wait to hear your evaluations of your piece.
I found your group project interesting. However, I thought it was somewhat chaotic and I couldn't always tell how your 3 ideas fit smoothly together into one project. I would have liked to see you do this box project solo and see what you could have come up with. I bet it would have been more interesting if you were only able to focus on your theme (I'm sure it was difficult working with others and it probably restricted you in some ways- did it?)
As for your blog, it's very complete. You tie your projects together very well and your explanations are great. I really enjoy how some of your entries are in the style of a "diary" so that we can really understand your thought processes behind projects.
