Surrealism

November 1, 2007

So I’ve finally decided to take this research seriously! Not that I haven’t been already, but the deadline is dawning and I’ve realised that I really need to get a move on with my ideas, they’re not flowing quick enough.

Tonight I’ve been browsing deviantart looking for inspiration. As a deviant myself I’m pretty good at the skimming the amount of rubbish on this website.

This rather conceptual image caught my attention, and as I read the artists description some ideas immediately began to spiral. “Some say that their cell phone, laptop, or MP3 player is attatched to their hip. Well what would happen if it became a part of them?” 

I’ve now began to look at the human form as part of nature, something that may sound obvious but I hadn’t really considered it before. I want to try and fuse things together. I’m not really sure how to explain this, but I’ll check back in a few days and note down where I’m at.

Now, in my social world! Last night was Halloween! Didn’t really have a costume, and after weighing up the options we decided to go for a diy outfit and spend our money on alcohol instead. So basically we wore black and made slashes on ourselves with red lipstick and blusher and whatever else we could get our hands on. Finished off with some black eyeshadow around the eyes, not bad considering it didn’t cost anything! Then we (well, me and Rosie really! haha) got really trashed on wine and lost our sense of balance completely. We had a look around, and it seemed the only place that wasn’t completely heaving was Consortium so we headed there and had a boogie. Was a really good night actually! This morning wasn’t so great (wine hangovers are the worst!) but todays been really easy and thats why I’m feeling so eager to get on with this project.

First day at work tomorrow! 8.45am eeeeeeeek. But still, should be a laugh. We’ll see.
