Currently

I am currently trying to find a tree that I can use to film people putting their thoughts of me onto it, however I need one close to home and also one that will fit what I am looking for.

I am nearly finished my tree charcoal drawing and that is the type of tree that would be ideal for what I had planned. When that is finished, I am going to glue some notes to it to give you an idea of what I want to do.

Personal Memories/Items

This collage above includes all of my old swimming certificates that I achieved when I was younger and also some other awards, such as charity work by raising over £300 for cancer research, also an old diary and my teddy, that i've had since I was born.

Above are some old diary entries that i've taken from the diary that I put into the collage at the top. I thought these were personally very lovely, as it showed what I liked when I was little and what got me excited and what I looked forward to. Also, the way that i've spelt anniversary is rather funny! It just gives my project that personal feel.

These were taken from my baby book, which includes my first hair cutting, my first nail that fell off and other bits with memories included in there that I obviously didn't know, which I love looking back on. I love the horoscope that was for the day I was born: "It is a promising day for fulfilling a personal ambition, though success is likely to be due mainly to your own effort".

I think it'd like to add that quote into my project somewhere.

Sam Taylor Wood Interpretation

After watching Sam Taylor Wood's installation video of David Beckham asleep, I decided to interpret her idea and record myself asleep to show how I have developed her ideas. 

I set the camera away on a tripod and got someone to press record as I was asleep. I think it's extremely interesting, as my project is about my life and memories etc, sleep is something that everyone does, however it is quite a private part of life, as not many people see you asleep. Everyone has it in common, however everyone has different sleeping patterns and that's how it fits in well with my project, as it is a personal aspect of my life.

Here is my interpretation:
