My Project

     So my new project idea that I have already started on is a bit odd.... but humorous at the same time. Since we are supposed to make something out of an everyday object, I decided to base mine off a habit that I already have. This would be an eating habit.... Every time I eat a tortilla (I eat them plain sometimes) I fold it up into fourths and bit out pieces to make a snowflake. I then unfold it, giggle at my childish creation, and eat it.
     So for my project, I have decided to make mass amounts of tortilla snowflakes. But instead of eating the bitten out chunks, I will leave them on the floor below my hanging snowflakes. I will also have flour on the floor with the bitten out pieces, as if the tortilla is deteriorating back into their original form.
     The piece will be titled "Habits" and will include a video. The video will be an edited, sped up version of me making the snowflakes. I will have it on a loop with no sound, displayed next to the project. This will be incredibly awkward to film, but i feel like it with show the childish nature of this ridiculous habit of mine.
Here are some pictures of my progress:
