10 personal items

As one of our original tasks when starting Ravensbourne we were asked to bring in 10 items which were representational of our past, present and future. We then had to do a sketch of these items which were to be used to make and bury a time capsule. Each item was personal to me for a variety of reasons, but most of the points of interest for me and in the structure, layout or design.



These were all of the 10 items I brought in with me. We were asked to arrange them in an order which we felt was representational of what they are, and fitting to the meaning of each of them. I arranged them with some objects lying flat whilst others were propped up. This is because I am interested in the idea of not only two-dimensional objects, but also three-dimensional ones.


I brought this bottle back from when I went to Barcelona with a friend. The vibrance along with the abstract patterned design are what I really enjoy it. Also the shape of the bottle, although it is not dissimilar from any other shaped bottle I think is eye catching as it continuous.


10 items.

This was my representational drawing of the objects I had chosen. I decided to draw everything within the bottle other than the letters. This was because I liked the construction of the bottle anyway, and the it already had a very messy look to it before I took my abstract take on it. I like the way in which the letters seem to fire out the top. However adding colour in certain places would have helped create focal points. 


Burial 1.

I decided to bury my time capsule in a bush as many of the items I acquired have relations to me being out doors and often 'with nature.'  


Burial 2.

I also buried them in the evening as many of these items were used, given to me, or bought at night.


Burial 3.

If I was to bury these items again I think I would post them into a glass bottle and then put them into the river. This is because there is even more of a sense of nature with this and also it confirms that they are well and truly with nature then.. Where they belong.
