My
action words are MIX and LAYERING. The word MIX looks easier for me but it is
not that easy when I started brainstorming what can I do. Toothpaste was always
coming to my mind these days for the project after I saw a report about taking
a shower using toothpaste. I could not get rid of it. The word of LAYERING is
harder to be connected to my daily life. I could just come up with some image
of rock layer and carpet.
The
object I finally select is the brown color system in my daily life. When I
entered my bedroom someday, I saw my leopard blanket on my bed, piling up with
my brown pants and light brown skirt. I started to think about how many browns I
had in my room. So I started to search everywhere and got what I have in the
picture.
They
are the items I use very frequently, and I was surprised by how I use it and
how I like it when things are in brown. I was also surprise about that how
beautiful thing look like when they are place in an order such as in brown
color system. When they are separate, none of them looks special but when I
collect them from different corners in my apartment, they looked pretty
powerful and attractive.
There
are some sweaters, pants, shorts, pairs of boots, slippers, belts, a sling bag,
a travel case, a hair ring, pairs of gloves, a shirt, a scarf, a t-shirt, and a
cherry wood comb. Many of them are in leopard pattern, so that’s why I’m kind
of living in brown. There used to be a period when I want everything I use to
be leopard since it had been so popular worldwide.
First
I got everything I have mixed in a random matter to make a mess look, and it is
in the first picture. Then to make it more joyful I open my suit case, and put
some clothes, shoes and small item in it to exhibit a travelling look.
Travelling is important for me since I have travel between China and U.S. for
many times and I’m very skillful in packing up. It looks like a vacation
preparation or a relaxed pattern in hotel, which made me lost in the fantasy of
getting rid of school for five minutes. But when I realized the semester would
still last for more than one month I indeed went depressed for another five
minutes.
Then
I decide to see how I would look in all brown. The easiest way was to make
outfit looks and it is a kind of making layering from the mix. This process was
joyful for me because I had made a big brown mess in my room so cleaning it up
was going to take a while. But after I made the first outfit an documented it,
I could put back everything in that picture to where I collected them from,
such as the closet, the hanger, the bathroom, a suitcase, and the cabinet. The
process was made in perfect order. However, after I took picture of one outfit
and put everything back, I realized I should have used that pairs of boots
instead of this pair. This made me mad because I had to do it again to gain the
best effect I wanted. I took about ten pictures then selected five best of
them. It was annoying when I found something did not belong to the brown family
appeared in my picture, such as the wire of the power strip, a corner of my
super colorful carpet. So I removed all of them from the view of the camera,
and it looked better. The whole process took about one hour, which I thought
should be about forty minutes. I like my outfit part since it is interesting
when the first time I made a shape of myself using clothes only, I really
enjoyed the process. I also appreciate the travelling part which brought me
five-minute-long vacation.
