Ideas 1-3.

I was hit by inspiration during our first meeting and instantly went off and did something. I'm interested in what people have to say, what they hold dear etc. I made a crude "suggestion" box which I adorned with "How are you feeling today?" and left it in a public area with pencil and paper for people to reply.
    After a week I received an adequate amount of responses, some were quite upsetting stating that they "hated themselves," or "they weren't happy because..." alongside these there were also a lot where people had just taken the piss. Although I feel optimistic about my bodge job piece I really can't think how I can take it any further, what can I actually do with what people have said? Other than the obvious Gilian Wearing style photos.

2. Alongside a fellow student I went around the woods where I live and painted trees :) We decided to do this after my friend wallpapered the subway near her house, in doing this we "disrupted" our setting by painting white bands around trees within close proximity of each other.

Obviously this is not what my friend and I achieved, although it was the intention when we set out to do. Our intervention of the environment was a littler subtler, we painted white stripes which were 5" wide around the trunks of trees. Due to the nature of this we were forced to do it in the dark, which in turn meant that all the photos turned out shit.


3.My third experiment relates back to my first, I am interested in what people have to say. I decided to cover tables in a café with paper and invited the customers to draw/doodle/wright etc. Unfortunately the paper I put down was taken and binned by the café and I didn't try again because I now have to start my main project.
