Alterations and Altar
Alterations
An exorcism of lots of the pointless and annoying flotsam and jetsam in my room.
Altar
Altar and Shrines are created for both religious and non-religious purposes, and can be temporary or permanent. But the general overall gist is that they provide a way of honouring an esteemed being/s or concept, connecting to them, and having a constant visual reference to remind the maker (and/or viewer) of them and what they stand for.
Altars often include pictures or photographs of important people and places, candles, important texts and books, and objects of a ritualistic and/or talismanic nature.
The idea was to surround myself (in my most intimate space) with such things, so as to remind me of my goals, morals and important people. Keep me centred.
(Bit like Patti!)

Harriet and the Matches
Matchbox prop I made for a friend's film
The story is based on a German cautionary tale for children from the book 'Struuelpeter', meaning shock headed Peter!

New Order
Everything is made of stardust.
Pass electricity through this primordial goo we call stardust and this is the start of all life.
This table is an ordering and categorization of all the stardust in life.
But before science, and in the inacceptance of science people need an understanding or belief about the forces of the universe.
This is where religion and esotericism comes in.
Paraphernalia makes beliefs tangible and control possible.
These are word paintings i made in aim of ordering my ideas.
Colour based on the painting of a french church is did when i was 2. Basic instinct to order.
Considering baackground patterns
Ordering paraphernalia according to my 3 main realms of investigation: Fate, Acceptance of Mortalitiy, and Nature's laws being the right laws.
Ordered display of my ordering
All my most meaningful paraphernalia in terms of understanding the world and feeling comfort in the grip of it's forces
My bedroom installation sketch up:
Symmetry of colourful word paintings along sides. Focus point on duvet cover. Layout similar to church.
Slides of bedrooms projected onto duvet. Possibly alternating with slides of interiors of churches and other places of worship, so give comparative context: Sanctuary. One is personal, the other collective.
The nature of the exhbition's private view, and the venue being public, make the installation a collective place. But the content of my installation comes from a very personal place, which will add comparative context.
