Natural resources that “parent” objects:Object Domicile
Jansen Street, Parow East and 31 – 37 Orange StreetThe tin inhabits the same spaces that I do, and it travels with me around Cape Town, but it mostly exists at my home space in Parow, and my school space at Michaelis.
Object Origin
Potpourri Press, Greensboro, North Carolina, United States of America 1980- 1986The object was made as part of an Orient designed gift collection in the 1980’s, which consisted of Christmas ornaments, mugs, tin boxes and paper plates. These products were sold in gift shops and malls across the United States from the 1980’s up until 1986’s.
The tin as an object I do not find interesting, nor do I feel any strong emotions for it.
However I am using this object as an empty space, where in I get to fill it with my visualised and imagined world.
The tin then becomes a protective layer; a safe space to store my imagined world.
