Pot noodles ready to be served on the night of the Private View!
- Poppy
These are the first plans I made for the publication we have to hand in for assessment. Originally we were thinking of using domestic objects/products such as washing powder/jam jars/food packets etc and designing them individually but we worried this wouldn’t look like a collection and may be confusing or jarring.
We realised the theme behind our show was student life - we wanted to serve some kind of student meal - toasties? ready meals? and settled on a pot noodle. This is also where we got the title of the show Bombay Bad Boy! Using the pot noodle as a publication meant the tutors could actually eat the publication while they mark the work
Each pot noodle is personalised to each student - instead of flavour it will read the name of the student, instead of nutritional info it says the description of the work, instead of ingredients it shows the dimensions/materials used, best before date - private view. “if u are not happy with this product contact 206 hollydale road” (the venue - our house),
- LEAVE LINK TO BLOG ON POT: the publication is a physical link to the online documentation

‘ON THE PHONE TO MY MUM’ Short Film [Digital: 720 × 576, Duration: 16:25]
Installed on a box TV set in the living room of the exhibition, the piece aims to replicate and parody that of late night television stations where the audience is invited to phone in to talk dirty with the model on screen. As I am on the phone to my mum, the work instigates conversations around the representation of ourselves that we communicate with our parents and relatives that may be far from the realities actually lived as a young adult. By creating a caricature of myself, I am inviting the audience to be part of an intimacy that is fatally floored, construed and full of self-preservation. DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT I AM 100% DEGRADABLE.
All the work being set up and waiting for the crit!
