Journal 7 - unsure of topic

I thought I would write some reflections on my time in Brooklyn to tweak some ideas on collecting and urban spaces. Unfortunately, I am more confused than ever. I found Dr. Balangee-Morris' presentation and stories so interesting that I am rethinking the focus of my own work. I think I would like to incorporate some aspects of cultural memory into my project, but I am not sure exactly if I want my project to focus on Brooklyn. I am throwing around the idea of focusing on Brooklyn artists why Urban spaces seem to foster art making. Something else I am mulling is the idea of New York in art. What is it about cities that makes such an impact on artists. I'm not convinced yet that these are ideas I want to pursue. But I am sure that I want my project to address cultural memory.
