We were to make an installation with very cheap material. We took a very minimalistic approach to this.
*Our process ....us sticking the papers
*We made 60 sheets (4 newspapers stuck together)
My interpretation of it….
By using recycled newspaper as the basic material for the installation, one has taken a standpoint that environment is of prime importance and that the earth must be protected.
The size of the Bag tells us that there is no limit to the extent and possibilities that recycling can be adopted.
Another thing was, I wanted to take a small and mediocre object that we use everyday, that most people who not take notice off and put it right in your face! Sometimes to make you realise that these things play a very vital role in our lives.
We wanted people to feel very small against it but we left to openings on the side so that people wouldn’t be completely shut out. We wanted them to feel like they were in a Big Paper Bag.
The feedback we got was very interesting.
People said that it felt very safe inside. I couldn’t agree less. I felt like sleeping in it at some point.
Another person said that they enjoyed reading the newspaper like this and that they never really read it but on this bag, they were interested in reading it.
People loved the size of it and how they couldn’t help but notice it.
It was very interesting to see how this all came together. We never really planned our process of working. We just did it as we went. The toughest part was tying it up.
