I have this piece of really melted polymer clay that was a result of baking it at too high a temperature. I would bake a lot of polymer clay, and was used to the routine of putting it in for half an hour at 100 degrees. I was also used to the routine of putting a breakfast pastry in the oven every morning for twenty minutes at 200 degrees. I apparently got the two routines mixed up, and ended up with a weird, drippy little object. I'm thinking of somehow using that object as art, as I think it could fit interestingly with my idea of artefacts to do with habits and moments, it being the nonsensical blend of two different routines.
I'm still thinking about my idea of following a catalogue's recommendations on how to live, but the execution is a problem. I'm interested in this kitchen catalogue that has a large amount of branded products, and I want to use it as instructions for what to buy and consume, but I'm not sure how to document this.
I wanted to make some work that involved the process of doing all the things I had no motivation to do; I wanted to present those moments as art. So far I have no idea how to, apart from documenting the activities in a dull and literal way. I might do this anyway, fully knowing it will not turn out well, but hoping it will lead me somewhere more interesting.
