Burying a bit of Uni

In January we are set to move to a new campus; Howard gardens will be abandoned and behind with it will remain the many of the stories and accomplishments that took place there. As a statement on this we were set by Andre Stitt the task of finding something from the campus that represents it to us and burying it within the courtyard.

I  chose to take away the end of a chair leg as almost every chair or table I have ever sat on has been wobbly so I thought what better way to add to the history than make yet another chair fulfil it’s destiny and lose it’s balance.

Wat? (In There Somewhere)

This is a series of images exploring the moments when you lose yourself in your own thought whilst something else more important is happening. I hadn’t initially thought much of the original image in the series but when I came across it again it stuck me quite deeply as something very honest and perhaps important to an autobiographical enquiry into my own life.

Scrambling Stories

I’ve moved away from the idea of participation that I once saw as the way to go in this project, solely for the reason that no one that I had asked had taken the time to co-operate with me in that way.

So I decided I had spent enough time hoping for others input and decided I should take a more introspective approach, something which the artist’s I have been researching and responding to did as a lens to view the world through, though something I had originally wished to comment on and perhaps stand outside of, I now believe I should enter fully into. By taking an introspective view on the outside world it is important to first dissemble your own world and memory; I have recounted six stories from my past and then taken them apart by their component sentences. Doing so I can now resemble them in whatever way I so choose much as Fujiwara took control of his past I will now create several surreal semi-autobiographies tainting the sanctity of my own history. From this point I will then perhaps view histories which I either know well or find a particular link to.
