what might be the result, if you gave five pieces of wire, to five different people, and asked them to make "squiggles" with them? 25 results. maybe ask them to assign to each a title or at least a word or phrase. how might these squiggles be organized, in an array? (as if a table of elements). maybe some missing places?
are you reading anything — not necessarily "art" related — that might provide a constant touchstone for this work? e.g., Wittgenstein? or something in sociological or psychological literature, about "character" (or even identity).
reading that is not directly mappable onto one's studio work, can be the most useful.
I assume you are following the blog posts, including my "notes" for 20-22 October, in which (scroll down) are some links for you.
