Jessica Barter and Stephen Brookbanks: The Crafted Container

Project Space:

“These ideas set up a complex relationship between a house/home and its occupants. As John Ruskin proposed, "ones dwelling should be constructed as a framework to articulate an individuals temper, genius, character, occupation and history." Ruskin also added an expectation that the "[the] house would serve as a documentation of its owner, changing and growing with its occupants."”
“By the mid-nineteenth century, the dwelling had become more than an instrument of self-articulation.”
“The Crafted Container addresses two themes; the home as an instrument of self-articulation and the idea that the home itself is inscribed and impressed with traces and stories of the occupants. It is the objects one collects which define the spaces we call home.”
This is really interesting because of how I went through my entire house to find relatable objects and brought them into studio to try and explain my heritage to the other students.
They lost their value once they were removed from my house and the people who understand them
My objects where even called citch
