OVER THE NEXT WEEK /// i will be making new t-shirts after a good year away from doing it. HC will remain maybe, or a new name will take its place. i will be creating posters on the ideas swimming around in my head. black gold is the basis of it all. going back to politcal posters and phrases, even more ideas for t-shirts using them // photography: take more photographs using film cameras, get the slr’s back out , stop the digital for a while. // start making music again. use the synth more. get the guitars back out. let these ideas live.
Enough of ‘might’s’ and ‘maybe’s’.
Time to get creative again. time for letterpress. typography. posters. decadry. making t-shirts. baking cakes. staying young.
seeing bands. going to exhibitions. doing stuff. keeping going. start bands. make music. experiment. writing. believing.
indivuality. own opinions. debate. self expression. me. you. us and everything else in between.
i’ve spent to much time doing nothing with all these ideas in my head. time to give a fuck and make something happen,
“cos if you want something don’t ask for nothing”.
Secret Stash by Yi-Ting Cheng.
“This project is about concealing valuables, secrets, bad habits and personal information in our workplaces. Here, hidden spaces/ messages were created within 8 general objects such as wood boards, lamps and disposable coffee cups.
Why doing this?
We all have the need of hiding.We hide our valuables from being stolen, we conceal our past from our loved ones, we never show our real side to colleagues, we all have secrets. Or, sometimes we just want to keep something only for ourselves.
How?
Utilize stereotypes and visual camouflage.
We make judgments based mainly on our experiences and what we see. This dependency on visual information can create large blind spots. Thus, usual stereotypes of how we perceive solid, transparency and lighting are employed in this project to play with notions of ‘solid and void’, and ‘true and false’. ” from Vimeo.
Here’s a video all about it.
