After having a think over the weekend I decided that the room I had initially chosen while it being a positive that the room was soundproofed because you almost drowned in the silence. It made it near impossible to hang anything from the walls because the white wallpaper had to be hung so far away walls and it meant that I'd have to spend a long time just setting up the atmosphere for the room to be right let alone all the stuff going into the room and the actual pieces themselves. Whereas down the hall after having a quick look I found this room which is not only already white, it is also full of old artwork and things going into a state of disrepair and not acknowledged.
I decided over the weekend that I much prefer the atmosphere of this room already, as it is in chaos and has this essence of 'where to start' which is something I very much think on a daily basis, rather than the pristine white environment I was going to create. I appreciate the fact that it is an un-organised chaos and all the room needs to be done to it is for my work to be the focal points and the rubbish to be organised into a visually and aesthetically pleasing manner.
I want to do numerous things to this room such as apply some of the wallpaper I bought so not only can I write words on the wall but also so I can apply it but in a manner that is unfinished and rushed and not looked after and drapes over the walls and the floor, also after taking a closer look at the walls there is numerous crude drawings done in pen which I am going to be leaving and not fixing to add a sense of realism to the chaos and how this room is now ignored and non-important, similar to the artwork that has been abandoned in there similar to how I feel and how I isolate myself when I get very anxious and have anxiety attacks and just in general everyday.
The one important aspect I must consider when using this rubbish is due to it being work from students past is that while I want to have the realism there with all the untouched and chaotic rubbish but I also need to make sure that I destroy the old work enough that it can't be mistaken as my own work and that my work is what the eyes are lead to and focuses on whilst keeping this essence of overwhelm and 'where do I start?'
