Went shopping in Perth with my Mum and Dad. Spent a considerable time in Lakeland Plastics (my parents exclaiming loudly, 'Look at all these things you never knew you needed!').
This consumerism of home and all the things that families, or even just established adults are supposed to have to make their lives better...this is something I'm interested in, the things of home.
In Lakeland, they have a book by the Women's Institute all about Home and running a home...this is a valid area of research. Maybe I could contact a branch of the Women's institute and do some work with them?
Can I become an expert of home without actually having one?
I like things...I can't wait to have a house so I can keep my things in it. But is home just about things? Space, time, valuables, memories
*Idea: Is it enough to have a green front door. An emerald green glossed wooden front door with a brass letterbox and knocker in the space. Entrance possibilties. Reminds me of a snapshot of the Dutch surrealist women in the theatrical set at the NRLA last year. That was a comedy about things. Perhaps this is an idea that could workwell on film (live would be difficult because of capacity and sight lines)
*Idea: Think Matt's Into the New director's show. Space marked out like rooms in a house, Dogville style. Opportunity to have 2d/3d aesthetic. Kevin asked could I make the performance space my home and would I really want to. How contrived would it be to ask the audience to close their eyes while I describe the ideal/memory of a space?
