Project One! Due 9/2/08 - place a pre-existing object in three different settings.
My first idea was to use my name badge from work to express my frustration with my job. Decided not to, because it's just not that interesting!
My second idea and the one I'm using is to show via these three images the time that I am able to dedicate to my art - ceramics. Which, of course, is not much! Working fulltime - living outside of Iowa City and commuting, becoming a homeowner, owning a dog, motorcycle riding/maintenance, and working towards a high producing organic garden doesn't leave much time leftover!
My first idea was to take pictures of me at work, at home, then my pottery wheel and place the piece of pottery on each one. Well, that won't work, because it would need to be in three places at once.
I think I will make a collage of multiple pictures to represent work time and home time - both will represent multiple activities. Then the third will be a picture of my pottery wheel with the pot on it. The other two collages will be centered around a picture of the pot with connecting lines from me to the pot, indicating that it's on my mind - hopefully representing that I wish I could be working on that instead, or having more time to work on pottery. Each one will have the number of hours depicted daily that I spend on the activities, and perhaps I will bring a clock too to represent the passing of time….
I decided to get Adobe Premiere Production software package and I had been hoping to somehow to make an electronic collage, but they didn't have it in stock, so it's on order. I ended up taking photographs of each scene (some at work, and some at home, and one of the pot on the wheel), then I made a collage with each one. The work and home have multiple pictures in the collage which also will represent the busyness and the demands on my time. Whereas the picture of the pot on the wheel is just one simple photograph. I have named the project "Time Management".
