Statistically speaking, today is the most depressing day of the year. This unhappiest of days is known as Blue Monday. The holidays have passed and the weather this time of year tends to be less than ideal.

I’m combating this seasonal depression by working on an extremely colorful installation at school. Over the weekend, I cut and reassembled various colors and types of paper into patterns based on quilt designs. Today, I began to arrange the patterns on the wall. Tomorrow, I am hoping to finish the installation.

Better pictures will be posted at a later date but for now, I snapped a few in progress photos.
