This exhibit is an exploration of the evolution of a project and its subject matter through various mapping and planning notes over time. It is a visual representation of how our thought processes change with our research, perhaps even unconciously. The word 'meta' references the conventions of a genre; it is self-referential. 'Metamorphosis' is the process of transformation. Within this exhibit, we are looking inwards to see not just what our work says about itself, but about us as well. Further, we are examining the creative process through the examiniation of its products, almost like working backwards.
This exhibit consists of five artifacts from various periods of the development of my Honors in the Major thesis project, from my intial concepts during the application semester to my final notes used to write my prospectus. Examining the changes in our project, where we are and where we've been, is an important component to understanding how we work. Even in examining changes in medium, we can observe how ideas come to us whenever and wherever.
