What it takes to survive
the burden of existance.
My Identity Project began with me trying to capture some of my characteristics in physical forms. By tying up, knotting and securing objects in place its seemed to minimise the chaos and therefore minimising my anxiety by rendering my posessions immobile. In a sense it mirrors the actions of tying objects down before a storm. The research and work I have done around this theme have lead me to create a final piece in conclusion to the work in my notebooks.
I have created a piece based in the idea of "always being prepared" a motto I from the scouts and something I feel is imbedded in our cultural subconcious in this modern society.
These following images are photographs of samples of work I did during a project entitled identity.
- I'm really fascinated by consumption and ephemra in modern day
the fact that we are all such collectors as a species.
- Do we buffer ourselves with stuff?
-Do we unnecessarily over prepair? The fact that most of what we own is completly unnecessary. We dont need the majority of what we consume at all. Where does necessity end and anxiety begin?
