thinking, thinking, thinking...

So im still not quite sure where to go with this layers project, i've had a few thoughts, but im hoping it will become more clear after I see the demo tomorrow. I thought the best I could do for now would be to jot down what Ideas I have had, in case writing them out helps me think it through, or someone has some feedback that I might not have gotten otherwise.

-QUILTS have layers(backing, batting, top), layers of quilts to keep warm - comfort, beds, utility - printed on canvas with quilted on pieces?

-CLOTHES, as it gets cold we put on more and more layers, covering more and more of our skin with cloth, generally no cloth worn on hands until it's cold, loss of use of hands??

-LANGUAGE, layers of meaning, sarcasm. irony. saying one thing and meaning another and showing yet another with body language/facial expressions.

-EARTH, layers of history buried, compressed, fossilized, clay, soil, stone, like a cliff side blasted for tunnel, layers are exposed

-FOOD sandwiches, pizza, everything is layered, nothing served plain (normally) spices, sauce, cheese, condiments, toppings, etc

well, we'll see what ideas stem from seeing the process in person, and go from there :)
