Scavenge - The Fox Was Here

This is the end result of my first university project (top image). 

The task was to go about Nottingham and scavenge objects we found interesting,

and then to scavenge written materials like magazines and newspapers,

and after that to scavenge from a library, searching books and collecting words based

on a certain rule. To find my words i took the reference number from each book, for example,

378170281. I then broke the number down to find a word, or series of words from the book.

So the 37th page, the 8th paragraph, and then the 17th, 2nd, 8th and 1st word of 

this paragraph.

After constructing the colourful fountain from magazines (bottom picture), i combined all the

words i found in the library to make a poem, which was then stuck onto the fountain.

We were then told to assemble all our work into and exhibition in our studio

space, so this is a collection of our groups work. After assembling this piece

we decided it was too neat, too pretty and too typical of a collection, and the 

only logical step to making it original was to remove order from the equation

and destroy the assembly.
