WHY?

Why do i think you gave this assignment?
It taught me about working on something with no specific desired out come. No expectations.
It taught me to focus on one type of item and get very up close and personal with that item. Be absorbed by it.
evne though I was collecting the same thing(multiples) the things didd not seem completely the same. even when appear to be similar sometimes on closer inspection they are quite different. at the same time collecting the same thing can teach us about the things that are the same and recurring throughout. To collect something in this way is to give yourself to it to let the project define itself as time moves forward, like something unraveling or a web being created. This assignment was also important because it taught me to branch out from the original thought while still keeping the original goal.
