I'm too long-winded for handwriting. Plus, it's harder to think clearly when I'm writing in a messy little book that I can't imagine anyone reading, feeling like my every word is being whispered into an abyss of illegibility, press releases, and cheap ink.
I'm currently interested in the idea of people-related artefacts, whether they are fictional (I wrote a list of products, e.g. foods, cleaning products, used in a kitchen catalogue to paint a picture of a real, lived-in home) or real. As an example of a real "people-related artefact," I am currently filled with a lot of apathy and a lack of motivation, and I am trying to present these things as artefacts; I am trying to translate an emotion into a tangible object and call it art. This has resulted in the creation of various receptacles filled with little origami stars, which are dangerously close to looking as though I am attempting to pass off a simple skill as thoughtful artwork. I need to find a way to express that the emphasis is on repetition, catharsis and the emotion (or lack thereof) behind it.
