I was pretty sure that I was going to focus on the Chinese, but after I walked around Deep Deuce on Thursday I changed my mind. I know that it's going to be much more difficult, but I think it will be more fulfilling.
My ideas are pretty vague. I only decided what area I would focus on on Thursday. This is what I have so far.
I was pretty intrigued by the zoning restrictions for blacks in Oklahoma City. What caught my eye was the irony. They were forced to live in a certain small area, but that area was one of the most happening places in the city.
For my project I was thinking of a cage for my vessel. Inside the cage would be bright, colorful, sorta bluessy things. Culture would be a better word. The outside of the cage would be adorned with plain, boring, maybe newspapers or something else monotonous.
I'll probably change a bunch before it's finished, but that is what I have so far.

I like the idea of a cage since the Blacks in Deep Deuce seemed to be pretty well restricted to that area.
I love the idea of the cage as well. What it reminds me of is the way people sometimes put large, exotic birds in cages--brightly colored parrots, cockatoos, toucans. The birds are so entertaining, colorful, and intelligent, and often well loved and tended by their caretakers, as if the birds were just meant to exist in the cages all along. I see this in Singapore a lot. The birds seem fairly comfortable, especially when they're in large cages, and they have a full view to the outside world and they interact with people passing by. But the birds' movements are restricted, of course. And when they chatter the words we reward are the ones we want to hear.
Love the cage as a vessel! Very creative use of inside and outside, yet it truly represents how music is not restricted within the boundaries of the cage. The sound will carry with the wind and provide enrichment to those that choose to listen. Debbie Boles
