Tomilola Adefioye: Timeline, Reflection and Selection

For my timeline of the week, I initially wanted to plan everything out then design it but it occurred to me that I didn't really plan my week as I aspired to express myself more freely and tried not to over think things. I therefore wanted my timeline to reflect this idea of spontaneity. In terms of my selection, I chose parts of the week I felt were the most memorable/ enjoyable for me. This includes: choosing 10 objects as I really had to think about which would be the best representations of my past/present. I also included my visual interpretations of the objects. The time capsule was a very memorable aspect of my week and was crucial to my timeline because it was something I had never previously done and it allowed me to stretch my imagination in terms of considering how I would like my objects to be buried. I referenced George Butler as his illustrations remain prominent in my memory as well as the work of Xing Danwen in Making it up: Photographic fictions. I included the booklet from the Memory Palace as well as a quote which I loved as it was extremely thought provoking. The Pavilion makes up the majority of the back ground of my timeline as I found it extremely fascinating; the structure of it as it is quite simple yet so complex. When I finished there was a lot of negative space left over so I decided to cut around the images/text to symbolise how busy my week was.
