The objects that I were assigned were the Bandolier bag from the Native American Delaware Tribe, and the Painted elk hide from the Easter Shoshone tribe.

This object has two components to it, one being the shoulder drape and the other being the small bag.…

As I brainstormed about things that I carry, nothing stood out. Not a single prized-possession, no metaphoric symbols, no family heirlooms, not even an everyday object that I could somehow pull a deeper meaning out of came to mind. I had no words to describe what I carry, nothing at all. And I then realized that I couldn’t have described it any better. I carry nothing.…

I sit here in this half empty room listening to music. I try to think of what keepsakes to use for my Opus project. This project isn 't hard, but very tedious and time consuming.

Attics, we use them for storage. A great way to save space, and also one of the more "creeper" areas within our homes.
