I attempted to take more innovative photos of my work. This I feel helped me become more aware of the possibilities of mundane objects to become something intriguing and inspiring.

Untitled (Tea Bags), String, Stamps and Perspex

Exhibited in Gloucester Show, Trafalgar Street, Brighton, Dec 09

I found that the traditional romance of written invitations to take tea, held many sculptural materials to process. Posting invites upon tea bags left my knowledge of the precipitants definite attendance out of my hands; this created an exiting uncertainty for me by trusting in a somewhat out dated method I felt unfamiliar too. This work aimed to highlight the effectiveness of this tradition and if it holds values that say, a generic email could not. The mentioned process led to a more resolved piece of sculpture; tea bags were connected by a threaded stamp and hung in a way to suggest a pendulum, introducing optical time in opposed to digital representations.

We seem to live with instant technological gratification at the reach of a finger; we embrace the ease of online food shopping however isolation and inactivity could be the true price we pay for this technology. Luxury items change over time and even a commonplace item like sugar was once kept under lock and key. I began to use sugar in the modern cube state in an attempt to link these ideas; these cubes were used to formally represent typewriting keys. Our own touch and over use dissolves the keys, provoking an inevitable change of material once more.
