Britney Pack; Project 1

Step 1: Choose an object(s) - I chose a multitude of objects including a clock, floss, toothbrush, hairbrush, ruler a broom and many more to come

Step 2: List all its physical attributes of the object(s): To list only some of the physical attributes of these objects; round, pointy, soft, smooth, bristly, tall, long, thin, etc. The main attribute I wanted to focus on was function and how I could manipulate these objects.

Step 3: These objects have many different associative attributes - why was it made? to help make our lives easier, who the object was made for? any person that wanted more convenience/function in their life etc.

For this first project I decided to do a mini series using household objects and transforming their use, function and meaning. In doing so I basically rendered everyday household objects that are meant to make life easier utterly useless. 

Object 1: Toothbrush

I took out all the bristles from this toothbrush therefor it is unusable.

Object 2: Hairbrush - again I used pliers to individually remove the ball-tips from the hairbrush except two. This removes its innate purpose for brushing hair.

Object 3: Broom - I used pliers to remove most of the hairs on this broom, leaving it very sparse so it would not be able to sweep anything up.

Object 4: Dental Floss - I cut each individual piece of floss from the pick and sanded down the sharp end into a more rounded form so you wouldn't be able to use either end for flossing.

Object 5: Ruler - I cut and shaved a 12 inch ruler down to just 1 inch.

Here are my pieces that I brought for the critique:

Shoes with no sole:

Straws that were glued on both ends so they weren't functioning:

Solo cups with no bottoms:

A ball cap with no rim:

Flimsy Utensils:

And lastly, a clock that only functions in seconds so it is impossible to tell the time:
