A taste of my usual BLIP

-
Okay so this is actually difficult as fuck. I thought all I really had to do was get ingredients and bread and I'd be sound. Yesterday I thought I'd give it a go with things I'd already had in the house (as I am so skint I can't even afford sandwich fillings) anddddd it's not as easy as I thought. 

As soon as I made the sandwiches I really just wanted to eat them asap... binge eating problems... It was difficult to present the sandwiches in the way I'd imagined, it's hard to see the fillings and place the sandwiches nicely, my camera was also being a dick creating stupid shadows.

These sandwiches were idea's I had for my latest sexual partner, and it felt so fucking weird when I was eating them knowing that that's what I made them for??? It was a surreal and extremely strange feeling - I literally felt like I was eating the person alive. 

For Dean, I was thinking about pesto and cheese or jam and cheese - because when those sandwich combinations were first introduced to me I thought wtf that doesn't go and sounds disgusting. Basically how I felt about Dean when I first slept with him, he is my work colleague and it first happened on a staff night out, he is just not the usual type of guy I'd thought I'd be attracted to, but once I tried it I realised he's the best sandwich I've ever had. 

My task now is to do a LOT of experimenting with the actual photography of the sandwiches, I have also found a few interesting articles on people describing their sex lives with food on which I'm going to take some notes on.

Now that I am looking at this work again after a while, I guess it would be considered a 'winter depression' when things are bad in winter, they are really bad and this work proves that for me. I handed this in late, my description for it was - "the reason I didn't go to art school for weeks" Which basically was drug abuse and feeling sorry for myself for it.  Now I'll go into a bit more detail about it. I basically skived the whole duration of this project titled "body" and instead I sat in my room for weeks doing drugs and drinking. I was also going through a wave of feeling like I need to see someone about my health issues earlier that semester, I'd waited for them to send me a form for a while and during the time I was on a drug binge the form finally arrived. It triggered me into feeling really awful even though I was a lot better. I filled the form in and was going to send i...

Jam and cheese. These are some experiments of how I would display the sandwiches on my bed sheets. I ditched the plate as it was just in the way - it took attention away from the subject and deleted the intention of the idea. I quite like the idea of the sandwiches being laid out on bed sheets and making a mess. When having sex you don't tend to put down cling film on your bed to protect it - and sex can be messy.  I am much more keen on the portrait images, it indicates that it is people that are described. I love how filthy the 3rd image looks, with the spreadable cheddar falling out at the side, although the composition in the last 3 images are the winning ones for me.
