I have made something that responds to catalogue visuals and the contrast between the perfect catalogue world and what is real and flawed, but not dramatically bad. I'm interested in the idea that less than perfect is still fine. I am going to make another piece about catalogues, in which I use a kitchen catalogue with a lot of visible branded products in the background (that are not intended to be the focus of the image), and use that catalogue as a set of instructions for what to consume.
I have created a set of images of useless/worthless objects from my drawer. I also plan to create a set of drawings of this type of object. I will be thinking about the subjects of hoarding, sentimentality, contrast between monetary worth and personal meaning, as well as motivation (i.e. motivation to throw away whichever objects are worth nothing and mean nothing to the owner). I plan to communicate a contrast between the valueless or ugly nature of the object, and the value placed on them (perhaps inadvertently) by allowing them to take up the space in one's life or drawer.
I have collected a set of orders from another person, and plan to use those to dictate my actions. This will link to my research on giving up autonomy, and random decisions.
I am planning to create a structure resembling a time machine; it will be a light-hearted and slightly humourous symbol of regret.
I was thinking of photographing my bed every day to document the weekly cycle of care and attention to detail descending into complete apathy and poor hygiene, but decided that this was derivative.
I am creating another piece that deals with routine and lack of motivation, and I like the simplicity of it. It is a collection of plastic forks from instant noodles, and it deals with repetitive habits and laziness. To me it also touches on the irony of the fact that emotions can actually make us act more robotic.
