i recently agreed to do something which means i have to delay rewilding my found objects - so they will accumulate until autumn when I can finally disperse them, like late fruit!
since the end of the Place Making course i have joined an ongoing group about creative development with Ruth Singer, Maker Membership - every 3 months we are offered a new theme which we can follow or not as we wish
while i work on the objects my thoughts wander and at one point i realised that this brings together two of the MM themes: Land and Objects - the objects come from the small area of Land where i live, which i have been exploring, and they will go back there....probably to a different location, so they will have traveled and had experiences albeit passively
i begin to see their “embellishment” as part of the experience they share with me - not really an interaction as they are passive objects, but a process during which they have been temporarily altered
random objects which have been chosen to share my life and space for a while
i am usually hopeless at parting with things, but i look forward to parting with these as little gifts to the land where i live, with a hope that someone else will let them into their life for a while
but i do wonder if all this is simply a way of justifying my childlike impulses to collect, play with and leave my mark on stuff...??
