plan for every eventuality
Family holidays are always eventful. Aside from being left at the airport with only my mobile and a two euro coin, and being delayed by volcanic ash, we managed to lose a hire car.
The Opal Corsa in question had been left by my dad in the spot we had claimed as ours over the time we were visiting. After leaving the car my dad decided to go out for a walk, after walking past 'our spot' a couple of times he realised that the car he had parked there only a couple of hours before was no longer there.
mum: 'did you manage to get any money out?'
dad: 'do you want the worst news first or the second worse? the car is missing, and the bank was shut.'
Thankfully the car and the Marriotts were reunited after my dad traveled in the back of a police car with the chief of police to pick up the illusive vehicle. It had moved it in order for a cycle rally to begin, and not stolen by the spanish mafia.
Holiday tip, when parking cars remember observe small pink signs sellotaped to lampposts. Oh, and unless your feeling strong it is advantageous to purchase snow chains before driving into an alpine ski resort.
POSTCARD TO EWAN
I sent this postcard to my friend Ewan when I was in spain. I'm glad

The song culminates in simulated orgasm sounds by Birkin: mostly because of this, it was banned from radio play in Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the UK, and denounced by the Vatican in a public statement.
hahah!

THE FEAR
This project looks at the theme neophobia, fear of new things, or of new experiences. I started by looking at what made things ‘new’ and subsequently what made them ‘old’, for example, names, technology and clothing. I also made reference at the start of the project to my belief that neophobia is a low level phobia, and to it being more of a reluctancy (this is backed up with research).
This lead me to the idea of sentimentality and to stains and wear on clothes. Wear being something I have looked at in previous projects, and a theme which I find very interesting and am keen to work around in my project work.
I continued to do material and secondary research around clothing and around the staining and wearing of garments to make them old or to ‘look’ old. This secondary research included companies and designers such as A.P.C, specifically their ‘butler worn series’. PRPS, Nigel Cabourn, and Martin Margiela’s Replica clothing.
Through this research and the primary material research, such as wearing and staining techniques, my ideas were realised in a number of garments. I decided to focus around the white T-shirt, something that I believe would be on of the most daunting garments for a neophobic sufferer.
I decided to create a garment that referenced staining and one that referenced wear another which would reference sentimentality, these being the main themes I researched.
These garments reference neophobia and could be for a neophobic sufferer. This is not to say that they are not the starting point for a range of designs that touch on the the three ideas outlined above.The work was displayed in the space as shown in these photos.
The posters that are seen above photos are bellow.
These posters were based on scanned in stains!
Thats about it. x
