Construction idea- the production line

IMG_0428Drawing on from the idea of adjusting the plates I then realised that all the other objects I had created ‘art’ from could be used in my piece, again like a production line, putting things out, adjusting them, going over them re- positioning them. My script involves facts from leaflets. There are hundreds of leaflets that sum up every different aspect of living with diabetes such as-

“Sex is an activity like exercise so be prepared: you may require extra carbohydrates before to prevent a hypo”-  Sorry, Sorry. Hold on a sec let me just check I’ve got haribo’s on hand. (get out haribo chuck them into audience) Yep carry on.

These silly “guidelines” and facts about my life are all true and can control me or have an influence on me- such as the implications if I want to have a baby in the future and my levels aren’t controlled (which I want to include in a voice over at the end as it’s something serious no one including myself ever thinks of). And so, placing all of these leaflets on the floor highlights all the complications of my life. It is also interesting to note that they are all different colours and so by placing them in a circle, which is the logo for Type 1 diabetes (a blue circle), all the different colours represent teh change in my blood glucose levels. By placing empty needles boxes which I’ve built to creating T1, although it may look tacky, at the end of my day this is what my life revolves around. Even the seating decision to keep it as tiered seating has a meaning. The audience are all on different levels.
