Typology










I've been working on my Typology project, a component of our final project.  I've been reading a lot of Robert Smithson's writings and looking at his work, specifically he's contemplation of sites and non-sites, and idea of resolving a lacuna or filling the gap.  "Everything is two things that converge.  This range of convergence is really the great area of speculation." (From Smithson's comments at the Earth Art Symposium in 1969).  I'll admit that a lot of Smithson's work is heavy reading for me, and not totally clear but I've enjoyed digging deeper into the ideas and understanding of Smithson.
