I thought yesterdays studi session was really interesting, this is an idea that we will revisit, I'm sure. I'm so lucky to be working with a bunch of students that can take on half developed ideas and make them work, even luckier that I could make a drawing of my own in the session too.

I found it odd that when i could not look directly at the subject, i automatically (unconciously) felt i should'nt look at the paper either ??.

That is when we use our mind like we do for foveal vision, but direct it toward the surrounding area with the soft focus, motion detection, weird organization in concentric rings of warped space.
