Space of Inquiry, v3

A month ago, I wrote about the scattershot nature of my reading, and I think I'm feeling that again. The expand/contacting nature of the exploration has a nice rhythm. I've created a refined model of inquiry. It seems like my interests are starting to converge a little more, although maybe it's better to just call it shifting; I have to assume it's going to keep moving around, probably until I have to make a commitment to something. I want to zoom into the studio environment, with a focus on what happens in the space when the instructor isn't there, and how whatever is happening informs the development of making-based-confidence. I want to get beyond "community" as a container, and focus more on what is driving personal emergence of autonomy (or not.) This is probably going to inform my first independent study.
