Back to tables...

Tables are encouraging of cooperative behaviour in many ways > so here are a few more thoughts on tables. I am going to take a roll of film of special and notable tables. Yesterday I went to the Timber Yard cafe in Covent Garden with my aunt and cousin as the people who set it up work with my aunt and uncle. It has loads of beautiful custom made tables from salvaged wood, painted different shades.

A bit about what tables can do, the type of characteristics they incite

steps - came from playing with the boundaries and planes that exist in the conventional home; what they mean and the behaviour and habits they encourage; sometimes they just provide dead ends.

And some random thoughts about killing animals

And then I bought a kilo of sardines, filleted them and now they're curing in lemon juice in my fridge. yum, fresh raw fish for me!

I also need to write my project up so far (actually i just have today) but need to put it in a designed format for easy reading, and also gotta remember to write about 'romanticism in hindsight'

Dyeing with black beans. and shorts

Gonna dye these with black beans, and wear over orangey/rusty cycling shorts

Using the form/shape/line to encourage behaviour

And lines become tables.... tables mean a lot in terms of cooperation (if you scroll down to some photos of my sketchbook about tables you'll see some of the ideas)

They act also as a moral pillar. and this actually is in reference to Home and Away also but i'm working on that part...

Shapes/lines/forms = progressions/aids to certain behaviour/support/guiding

This is in reference to Kafka's 'The Castle' - but the castle being upside down to turn bureaucracy on it's head - cos that's what stops people learning self-sufficiency and trusting themselves and one another with tasks. It is the enemy!!

Bear in mind with this 'thresholds', 'progressions', 'exchanges', 'conversations', 'trying things and returning to other things' etc.... general characteristics of cooperation: reflected in a space

Books are SO my bag

A dress commissioned by the indie bookshop my mama works in - Ledbury Books and Maps. Maybe I can make them a uniform one day!

And one day I will actually book a photography studio or fix my camera and go outside and get proper photos of all my work.

Clarrie!! she hearts books too

And when I got home from work today Dom had made my bed in the best way - it looks like a Red Indian/The Cure tribute/and exhibition of cushions by me and Rachael.
