Photos are from all the lighting test shots and painting on walls for installation.
Yesterday in the afternoon I went with Jiajia and ate at NJC for lunch. It was really good, some chicken karaage rice that was really delicious. The security guard was really cute, he asked me to act damn paiseh when he questioned me about my student status in front of his anal boss, so I just play-acted along and got in our grey neighbour safely. Anyway I went to look at their Courseworks and their AEP is pretty slow from what I saw. ):
There was some girl I talked to, she said that all she wants is to get an A for coursework. And suddenly I start wondering why the hell I put in so much effort for AEP for, because I know for a (sad?) fact I am not going for this to get an A on my A Levels. Sounds like a noble cause but I just feel far from noble, just feels pretty confusing not knowing why I bother. Maybe I’m doing this to kill time and make myself happy. Great reason for dissatisfaction.
The sad thing is that I think I’m beginning to feel sick of my coursework again. Maybe it’s because I really look at everything way too often, but all I see are the pages which I am too lazy to do till I am satisfied. And then I’ll get annoyed at how bland it all seems. I wish it wasn’t coursework so I can just relax over this and… look at it less and thus be more inspired by myself. I keep moving on so fast I hate everything that’s remotely dated.
In the afternoon I just decided to fuck it and go fuck up my walls anyway. Wanted to just layer the white as texture but then I kind of went insane with the paint. I think the final lighting will be something like that, with just bulbs, plain and simple. Wondering whether to use my friend’s suggestion to make the viewer hold the bulb. It was really cool, like an illuminating magnifying glass or something. I got damn dirty painting and making texture and flinging paint.
So at night my father helped me buy an IKEA table and bring it over. Okay so I lugged it to the gallery, and started screwing a stupid drawer together. Before I was done with one drawer I already made two mistakes. And Bryan was next to me trying to paint the Rorschach test design onto the wall. So I said to him, “hey Bryan, can you help me make my table and I help you paint?” and to my surprise he was damn happy and said making the table is fun. Fun!?
I think I might still be making my table right now and he will still be painting that Batman logo. The funny thing is that I realised our courseworks kind of have things in common, the entire split into two, and the format of being a book. Haha, and Bryan is going to become an IKEA deliveryman when he grows up. We saw Weirong’s coursework also, but the bed doesn’t look like a bed. And the music pervades the gallery.
It was quite interesting because usually I don’t say more than 2 words to some classmates even after 2 years in the same school or class. But it was quite fun painting the white ink blot on the wall because compared to white acrylic paint, emulsion paint is a fucking godsend. It’s damn opaque. Should have used it in my books. Then later on Jasmine also came and she helped me paint, since Bryan finished the table first and went off to “sleep”.
When guys say they want to sleep, chances are they will still spend half a day wandering around and eating Mee Goreng until the fucking pantry is crawling with ants. Damn disgusting. Today I went to clean up the Media Studio because the place is where the guys sleep and live these days and it is more disgusting than the house in ANTM. And the male toilet where we shower is seriously smelly. I have a lot to complain about.
Then Jasmine helped me with my installation walls. Splashed a lot of colour, what we did was lay a lot of newspapers and then mix paint with water, then I just grab and throw the diluted paint. It’s insanely fun and I feel like vandalising all the walls with it. Maybe I should do the same at home one day, I seriously love it that much. There was a lot of layering of texture and sudden gorgeous paint splashes like this one:
I guess the installation walls are… just an accessory that’s meant to unite the entire space and make it atmospheric. Or maybe just provide a sort of backdrop to everything. We worked all the way till morning, and I accidentally cut my hand on a tin can of paint and then washed the paint rollers. So I think I’m just going to have to die a few years earlier from lead poisoning. Haha when it was 7 I was going to edit photos but I seriously just sat and died.
I don’t remember but I managed to drag myself to RC somehow, since I woke up at 11 in my beanbag feeling like a punchbag after a workout. And then people say my walls a bit too drippy and contrived so I went and fixed the place and now I’m really satisfied with how it looks. Particularly the face, which was some experimental doodle which turned into a motif on the wall. Must seriously thank Jasmine for the gorgeous colours and effects haha.
You must all come to the gallery someday, somehow right now I like my wall more than my books. Haha. I like the feeling of being secluded in my own little space. Later at night I shall touch up my books and just let them be. And then I have to think of what to do with the drawers and the instruction sheet. And if I need anything to be on the floor of the cubicle. That’s a lot of things I think I’ll sleep only minimally again.
Unlike the previous table,this one fits, and I’m sitting with it typing away right now. I wish I can move my cubicle over, really love this space a lot after I’ve painted it. I just voiced Lingxue’s monkey in her animation, so now I am immortalised forever in the gorgeous video of a girl and her monkey. Sam just got me Hakka noodles from home, oh my god I’m so in love. Haha Really happy to be eating decent food. And an apple too. I’m so blessed.
