******<not sure which notes came first — following are from notebook>

Texas heat — looking at art material — some feeling of explosion or implosion — that I have to do something soon — like everything is built up pent up piled up

try to piece together the ideas — a series of small works — an idea for the modular piece of allowing the pieces to turn — some pivot — do I need something in the back or is the layout enough — the object against a black ground — it seems that any backing would interfere

specific objects — a series of panels — how would they be held together — I’m not sure if I like the wood idea — some would be the same — some would have shelves etc

it’s almost my birthday

any of my objects could fit into this series — I should stick with the wall works for now — although maybe a couple of column works — I should also keep the idea of pieces that could go either way in mind — maybe make something elegant using oak wood — along with something junky

the idea of pieces (how do I describe this) semi enclosed pieces
the idea of drawers etc (too many ideas)

glass pieces — vacuum tubes — electrical components — I’m not sure if I can recall what a lot of the pieces are — I shouldn’t have dumped them all together — photographs etc of the art to use for visual art

I can’t get moving on text or image works — I have something in mind but I don’t know what
