Thursday 11th March

Yesterday, me and Sarah went into uni to try do some work together and set a short project together. We talked to Dave about our projects too.

We went next door to see The Art BIn, and then onto The British Museum to see Cradle to Grave by Pharmacopoeia.


'Cradle to Grave explores our approach to health in Britain today. The piece incorporates a lifetime supply of prescribed drugs knitted into two lengths of fabric, illustrating the medical stories of one woman and one man.

Each length contains over 14,000 drugs, the estimated average prescribed to every person in Britain in their lifetime. This does not include pills we might buy over the counter, which would require about 40,000 pills each.'

The personal photographs with hand written descriptions underneath were interesting. I am experimenting with hand written and printed text, from emails, text messages and recorded conversations with my friends.
