The Diary Room:
Does anyone else feel like writing on here is similar to going into the diary room on Big Brother.
Rob… is in the diary room, talking about his problems!
‘How are you today Rob’
‘Well I am having a lot trouble starting work today’
‘Why is that Rob’
I have to start re-designing something I designed about half a dozen times already.
‘Have you been given suggestions and references to help you with this task Rob’
yes I have, but its hard to just come up with more….you know ideas and its a difficult thing and
‘Is the material you were sent Rob relevant and of use to you’?
yes I suppose it is, it does not seem very inspiring though
‘And what things does Rob think are inspiring’
But that’s the problem innit…..the things I felt were inspiring and that I drew before, are outside of the ‘Design Language’ allowed for the project. I have to revisit with only things that are specifically relevant to that area. The design I did before was inspired by folk culture from another continent not even Europe.
‘And Rob did you think that was appropriate for a project in London?’
I am sorry I can see that may be it wasn’t now.
‘Good, You said the material you were sent Rob is relevant and of use to you’?
‘Can you start work now Rob’
Yes OK I will look on the internet for more local references
Is there anything else you would like tell us Rob?
Yes, I finished painting the map for the sculpture trail. The one that was drawn by visitors to the trail. It is a user generated map. It forms part of the interpretation for the project.
‘Is Rob Happy that is finished now?’
yes it reminded me of a Breugal picture called ‘Childrens Games’ that my dad used to have at home when I was small. The inks had faded and all the colours had turned greenish.
‘Is that all Rob’
yes.
