I needed a break from this. I am on a great track and I'm enjoying this with my whole heart, but I need to back down for a bit and explore other things before I get burned out, which in my case is inevitable because I get bored with things pretty fast.
It was suggested to me to read Crash by J.G. Allen, which was told to me was about a fetish about cars and wrecked cars. Instead, when I read this book and took a million notes, I found myself totally perplexed as to why exactly my professor would compare me to this and suggest that I read it. It was very gruesome and not enjoyable for me at all. These men would "get off" by looking at and watching car wrecks happen and watching the drivers and passengers get impaled, decapitated, die, bleed. It was horrific. While reading it I was literally sick to my stomach and totally disgusted with the book itself.
The one positive I found about this book was that the often compared cars to the human body. This was interesting to me because as I have previously stated, my figure drawings are described as being metallic. I am still searching for some other positive thing I got out of this book. I may be searching forever.
Unfortunately for me, this was not a satisfactory break, so I will try and find some other type of break to take from my work.
