Inspirational exercise...

As an inspirational exercise we were assigned to record, draw or photograph any subject, any person, or any event for 7 days, in the same space, time of day and area. So this seems great right? Well not at first...this was almost too much freedom as I could record absolutely anything! I hummed and hahhed about many things but some things seemed so boring as they wouldn't change over time so I opted to record something that would show evidence of change. I came to the conclusion of recording the refrigerator which proved to be quite interesting as it offered an array of change not only every day at 6:00, but every time I opened the fridge. From this exercise I could see the contrasting sides of change that I am dealing with. Although the fridge itself remained the same its contents continually changed as they were moved around or eaten or some things that had just gone bad as time takes a tole on things. The fridge (like artists) attempts to stunt this process of change, however it is never completely successful, just as we artists are never able to truly capture the essence of a moment. Time is and will continue to remain out of our reach as it remains in the power of God's hands...time is too complicated and precious of a concept for us imperfect humans to have control over.
