Hiding Places for Better Times
- Material:
Paper, painting kit - Preparation:
Close your eyes and visualize a place you would rather be at in this moment. - Task:
Paint the place you imagined. Write “I want to be here”, your name and the date at the bottom of the painting. Hide it in your home in a place you might possibly forget about. Maybe you’ll find it when times are better. - Note:
People hide important, precious or secret things. The process of hiding validates the object, removes it from daily life and positions it in a mental space where wish and projection merges. In my case, every time I enter the bathroom, I step into that secret place and dip my feet in the sea. This continues until I forget about it. Eventually the drawing becomes a forgotten memory reserved for better times.
