Routine Canvas

In this piece I was looking at;

Routine

Schedules

Deadlines

Daily Lives

Repetition 

Subconscious Art

I remembered last year, i looked slightly into people and their daily schedules. 

How there is a slight repetition. 

For example, if you go to Starbucks every morning to get a cup of coffee, it is unlikely that tomorrow you would go to Costa and get Green tea instead. 

People being afraid of change. 

This piece, i started off with a note, stuck to my bathroom mirror so it would be a reminder every day.

I would do something, add something to my canvas everyday but the twist is that i didn't know what i was going to do. 

There is NO PLAN!

Each day i would go to the canvas (repetition) and create something subconsciously, completely automatic.

I started this piece on the 23/10/13

Day 1 - Buy blank canvas

Day 2 - Mixture of water and acrylic paint
Automated plashes and spills on canvas
3 colours; blue, white and red

Day 3 - Ink

Used brush to apply and spilling

Day 4 - Rose and Cherry flavoured soap

Day 5 - Quick cut out of a human feature

Red spray paint

Day 6 - Adhesive and Coins

1p, 2p and 5p Coins

Day 7 - Oil Pant applied with palette knife 

Day 8 - Sand with Hot glue

Day 9 - Charcoal 

Day 10 - Conditioner

Day 11- PVA Glue

Day 12 - Rope

(Now as you can see, this is not a full shot of the whole canvas because in fact, i FORGOT to take a photo that day, which happens frequently in everyday lives, where someone forgets a task or two)

Day 13 - Thick lines of Acrylic 

Day 14 - Olive Oil

Day 15 - Fire

I used a flammable liquid to get it going

Burning the ropes and canvas

This fire created a lot of smoke, it would have continued heavily which is why i blew it out before it got carried away. 

Final Look

This is what it looked like at the end of the 15 days

I think it looks rather abstract 

I was imagining how long the Artwork label would be and how that could be fairly amusing to see in a gallery. 

I had to stop after 15 days because I was going up to Scotland and didn't want to cheat, i could see this being a piece carried on for a longer duration. 

Maybe a month? 

On a much larger canvas!

I would place a piece of wood or metal block on the back so i could get civilians to walk on it on the street, leave it out somewhere, bikes riding over it, things involving human interaction.
