Last term I spent a lot of time thinking and developing my work through thought, with less time spent on fabrication. This time I wanted to try and start fresh and loosen myself up and just make something completely unimportant, also something that allowed me to work with others, as my practise is otherwise just the individual, especially because often to film i have to be isolated by myself for a while. Me and Rosie joined together and bought lots of things impulsively without any questions asked, things we liked the look of. These included lemon curd, mouthwash, party hats, wooden snakes, French baguette, cotton wool buds, and old couple for a dolls house and some other things. We had one rule that to join in you had to wear a party hat, it was all silly of course, but it actually felt so important for me, as a way of just loosening up and stopping myself from having to think in detail about absolutely everything. Others joined in, both while we were present and not and it was interesting to see how it was adapted throughout the course of two weeks... mainly destroyed by other classmates towards the end. I found this interesting, did people just want to smash things up, obviously there were no rules so it was allowed, but I found it intriguing. One day we came back to find the old couple hung by their neck from the ceiling. It is not something I will be carrying on with, however, It has given me ideas for the future about possible materials to use, especially nappies and lemon curd, perhaps s props?
