Digital sketches for the design of House. 2048 x 2732 pixels.

As my first project at Bath school of Art and Design, I decided to design a machine that explained how the process of buying the house into which I was about to move into the following day, had  felt to me.

I complemented this with a diagram of my emotions, as experienced during the summer, just before starting the course, which I stuck this to the studio walls.

Earlier on that week we had tackled an exercise involving taking an object apart and I had ended up “taking myself apart”, inspired my Michael Landy’s work. I was trying to continue with this exercise on the walls of the studio, while at the same time creating a device.

I also tried to use some of the concepts that we had just been taught about cubism in our first Contextual Studies lecture.

​The machine ended up working quite well even if it was quite low-fi – I made it out of one of the boxes that I was using for packing – and I even made use of the plastics workshop.
