Progress: November 19, 2009


 

Getting ready to make an animated Tongue Rug that pieces together all the tongues (trips). The sladdakavring's shape will be determined by the dates when the trips were made and the number of tags for each tongue.

* Indicates substitution of a waypoint

Making this table to document my progress was admittedly depressing at first. Reduced to a graph, my progress seems unimpressive. Telling in its inconsistency. The cycling trips were well on their way in the beginning and then I had a bike accident in 2004. Ran into a car door and was unable to ride for the rest of the summer. I then proceeded on a long academic detour. Four years worth. Had to shelve the project for months with little fits and starts here and there. The subsequent summers were spent working in Ottawa and trying to finish my thesis on the side.

But it's not fair to paint that whole period as a roadblock to my progress, as I did do considerable research. I just need to revisit those notes. As I am interested in process, all those pauses, jumps and starts are all part of the overall project. I also did document the waypoints along the Ottawa River. In fact, looking at the sketch, I managed to document enough tongues to give the rug a nice shape. I'm starting to visualize the tongues in time and space.
