Well object – it feels like the long journey we’ve had together is coming to an end.
It’s time to set you free.
Time for you to go off into the world.
I know you will have many more adventures without me and that you’ll find someone out there who’ll hold you close and treasure you. The Lord knows you’ve sure had your fair share of knocks.
It’s time for some fun, to see new things and to start again.

Object – I just don’t know what to do with you. You better behave or I’m gonna throw you out the window.
What will you do then?

You’ll have to excuse me for my belated beginning statement. I was away for a few weeks when our materials arrived, but my lovely classmates sent me photos of my material and text, and here are some of my initial thoughts.
My material was a plastic hinged clapperboard key ring. I am pleased with this material as I think conceptually it’s very broad and gives me lots of room to respond. I don’t think I will incorporate the actual material in my final piece – although I am not ruling it out.
My text – Defenestration: the act of throwing a person or an object out of a window – had my mind boggling right away. My initial idea was to create a window frame to display my piece. My material had me thinking about film and movement and how I could bring that into the display, or the piece itself.
I researched films where windows were significant, including Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film ‘Rear window,’ with James Stewart and Grace Kelly.
Fast forwarding thirty years, I looked at the interpretation of ‘window’ as in ‘Microsoft Windows,’ which made me think of Macintosh’s infamous advertisement which introducing the first Apple personal computer at the 1984 Super bowl. It showed a woman dramatically smashing the competitor’s inferior computer. If you haven’t seen it, you tube it. It is held up as one of the most successful American ads ever made.

I’d better post this and get off my inferior computer.
So many ideas. So little time…
