sifting gravel — gravel collections
the idea of scale — Chinese and Japanese rocks —

the micro scale rocks that have similar forms and features —

the idea of choice — bonsai —

a picture in Kodak book on advertising that shows a massive looking bonzai —
the sculpture on the cover of Modern Sculpture which looks huge

sizes and titles

an encyclopedia — this is the type of idea
my things that has to be worked around
my ideas characterized
infinite complexity the character
of cross reference working on some
etc massive project

Hopscotch
Hodgepodge

ideas on the shadow casting series
the rough versus the finished — my inability to do good carpentry — the use of skilled craftsmen — the non skill of Cornell — how we tend to pass by a lot of faulty work (if it’s not our own) — the distortion of the first piece bothers me — (which piece is which) —

ideas while in the hospital for a series of proposals for works consisting of 2 circular components on a horizontal ground for example saw blades - grinders - sanding disks - objects i’ve collected recently — any object could be specified or chosen — scales and sizes could be diagramed so that the builder would find a scale that fit the components he/she would want to use or simply make an artwork of the instructions to take two circular objects and mount them side by side — possible use of lines etc drawn on the background
