Its been a wee bit since i last blogged anything, been winding down from the Non-Place brief. Next up we're picking a brief from a choice of three, the first one was based on punctuation which didnt interest me (too cold), the second was based on the concept of Newspeak from Gerge Orwells 1984 which is a bit overwhelming and ive never actualy read the book despite wanting to (too hot). The final brief is internal ephemera which involves recording your thoughts over a period of time (just right).

My concept is basically about the way people discuss womens fertility as being ephemeral and encourage women and push women into having children, which is what ive seen. I really dont want children and never have at any point of my life so far and yeah i could change my mind but that doesnt change my thoughts at the moment and how much i try to avoid pregnancy. I suppose ive always found it really condescending the way people use the 'you'll know when you have your own kids' line, like the way your being talked to like an adult and talked at like a child at the same time fucking infuriates me.

So yeah keeping it nice and light this time.
