Round and Round We go;
















Tried to play around with hairdressing materials, dyes, polyester fabric, difference between hard and soft materials, here are some of the ideas along that way.

Meet Murat,


Murat is a hairdresser, and his object was a scissors. His grandfather was a hairdresser for men, and he wanted the scissors from his grandfather when he started his job. He thinks even if he wants to replace the scissors with a very expensive object, this will not be possible because of sentimental values.

Lets get back to the book,

Picked my favourite bits from the book, I will choose words, maybe sentences, and twisting it a little.

''I cycled back to the town and put an end to the rest of my old existence. I visited the paper where I had from time to time submitted material, and told them I wouldn't be writing any more for a while. Maybe never. I also cancelled my bedsit, the telephone and the newspaper subscription. And I sold my books, and the Tv set.
...
There I sat sweating.
I had performed a feat.
No nonsense here.
This was not Sesame Street. "

" I decide to go out and buy something that will make me think about nice things, or preferably just a smile. ..
After a bit of thinking it becomes apparent that I'm looking for an object which:
- Is small enough for me to carry easily
- Costs no more than a hundred kroner
- Can be used many times
- Can be used indoors as well as outdoors
- Can be used alone or with someone else
- Gets me active
- Makes me forget about time
....

'' Maybe a suitable object exists, and maybe it doesn't. It's not that important. But the list is important. This is a discovery to me. This has a value.
I sit there pondering which objects will fulfill my desires.
It could be several. But I just want one thing.
Suddenly it is clear to me that what I seek is a ball.
A ball, plain and simple. I feel a sting of eagerness.''

This is the reason of a red ball, and its a symbolic meaning of something deeper that relates to him. I like that

No good to be home.. no good

Im at college now, and my battery died for the camera, I cant upload work no longer.. I was just in the mood, but I will do it soon, I promice.

Meet Ata,











I chose his colors as Red, Orange and Yellow, and his fabrics will be felt, cashmere, and wool. His object was a thermal jumper, and he talked about how he makes music on the streets, and if there wasnt the jumper to keep him warm, than he couldnt do music on the streets.so I wanted fabrics that would keep us warm from cold.

Meet Nicola,




Ok, so Nicola's object was a wheelchair. So I thought about movement, movement in time and objects that move around all the time in constant move (im repeating myself way too much, and way too much i am making spelling mistakes) but I know YOU dont mind.
And I am also thinking of taking photos that will be relating to movement, or moving objects as wheels as such, and have an accidental feel to show the movement.
