Deirdre final project Preview

1

Kent dorm

Inspired by Sound Before: Constant buzz of heavy machinery, chatter amongst construction workers, sounds of gravel crackling beneath the trucks that drive by Now: Quiet. The construction has finished and there is a soft, mellow buzz of students. The birds have returned

2

Pond by Kent

Inspired by Feeling: Before: It felt like home. I always felt at ease here Now: Although having a similar feeling, I also feel distance. Perhaps the distance of time

3

Clark Library

Inspired by Taste: Before: I can taste the Nitro cold-brew that I first tried at the Greenberry's cafe in the Library Now: I taste the minty gum in my mouth, as I walk through the formidable Clark Hall; the cafe is closed

4

Amphitheater

Inspired by Feeling Before: I can feel the vibrations from the Rapper T-Pain who was our Welcome Week artist Now: I feel stillness. It is as if the anticipation from first year, reflected through the feeling of the chaos of the music, has dissipated into time

5

Music Library (Old Cabell)

Inspired by Sound Before: I could hear the artists practicing music for their concert Now: I can hear practicing again. One of the first moments of continuity on this tour

6

Favorite View of Cville

Inspired by Sight and Feeling: Before and Now: This view has been my favorite view in Charlottesville since first year. Despite the weather, no matter what time of day, I am forever in love with this beautiful sight. I don't know why specifically, however, I just know I feel a sense of calm whenever I see it

7

View of the Rotunda

Inspired by Feeling: Before: I remember sitting in the opening ceremony of UVA for first years, looking up at the Rotunda. I felt scared and nervous. Specifically, I was nervous about who I was going to eat dinner with after the ceremony Now: I feel a similar sensation, but it is beyond UVA. I feel anticipation of the unknown and beyond in New York. I also am aware of the history of the land in which we sit on-- Monacan land. Land that I have come to appreciate and feel the complexity of through my studies

8

Alderman

Inspired by SmellBefore: It was peaceful. It was a jungle of knowledge. It smelled of old books and mildew Now: It smells of burning rubber. I can't even walk onto the steps as there are none-- just construction. No more books to be smelled until they are finished the rennovation

9

Fine Arts Library

Inspired by Sight Before: I didn't know the Fine Arts library existed first yearNow: I see my screen. I see the final bits of work that will result in the end of my college career. Bitter-sweet

10

Lambeth

Inspired by Taste Before: I can taste the Roots I would have at a picnic with my friends Now: I can taste the Take-it-Away Sandwich I enjoy

11

Fourth year home

Inspired by Feeling: Before: This area was a far away land Now: This building has been my home the past year, so now it feels familiar. I feel a sense of the end, as this is the end of my tour, and the end of my fourth year
