Thoughts

so i just ha d a tutorial with paula. i said about making a big cushion for hyde park maybe with text on it... maybe i could link up pillows and people? explore why we have them, scatter pillow, comfort, decoration, they're kind of pointless but many people still feel a need to have them in their homes. lawrence wiener explores text? maybe look at some of his work. possibly an activity? outside of a routine? sleep/relaxation/comfort.

out of place/ out of time- surrealism. order/disorder.

document in a variety of ways not just photography... times of when people do things, ask around, if i could get a visual graph out of the information then i could make a pillow out of that?  look up what types of graph are around.

using a sewing machine/ screen printing and a variety combining skills and techniques

allow the project to lead me

use the making process to lead the thinking, about possibilities of why/where/how the project is going.

ideas:

• put 20 pillows in hyde park and see what happens. record the people, camera, video camera, what shoes they are wearing, just things i might notice... 
• colour psychology see if people pick different colours
• what time do people pick these things up? (even if they do)
• explore shapes and how i can make thing's 3d, maybe watch some youtube tutorials.

why do i want to do this big cushion idea? in hyde park? 

probably something to do with sunshine and leisure time. 

• i think i want to go back to sleeping in weird places again, location out of routine? time out of routine? where could i sleep? 
• what does comfort mean to everyone, sleeping positions?
