Consumption Project Notes

In my sketchbook I started to list the things that we consume on a daily basis and a list of wearable things. Then I would match the consumed goods that go with a specific wearable thing. I matched the hat with the bulb because it symbolizes me getting an idea. Then, I used a cable cord that was cut to show the insides of the cord. The cable cord symbolized my brain. The  circuits were painted yellow to show that the brain is connected to the bulb but not physically. I hope that the viewer made that assumption before I talked about my project. 


This is an explanation for my project that I  presented in the critique. At home I decided to work on it a little more because I was not pleased with the result. I think that there was too much going on so I decided to concentrate on one object (which is the bulb) and reinforce it with the use of repetition. 


Explanation for my final result (shown in the pictures in my post)


My final piece criticizes, in a humorous way, how we waste energy (light) today. 


-We only need one bulb when we get an idea yet we still have other lighted bulbs that are not in use.
