Our final show at college is fast approaching and we have been working on our FMPs for a number of weeks now. At the beginning of my previous unit, I decided to merge it with our final unit so I had longer to explore my themes and pull my experiments together.
As a whole, I am exploring our relationships with 'stuff' and objects and the psychology behind this. I have touched on Obsessive Compulsive Hoarding as a psychological disorder and looked at the textures and aesthetics of something a majority of people touch and collect most days of our live - plastic. After starting to look at individual 'prized possessions', I realised that most people in our current materialistic society cannot chose just one thing they treasure and we all have too many things in our lives in general. But there is also a need to have so many things with life taking so many directions at once and becoming so fast-moving; unlike a society decades ago where most possessions were born out of basic functionality or sentimentality.
