painted breakfast

Liked Kates comments about funtion - takes me back to right tool for the right Job as my dad would always say. All the things people have to make because the job is so specific the tool doesn't exist - like Tesco direct or the wheelbarrow. Spades and forks are interesting because if you have to use them a lot tiny differences make a massive difference to how effective they are. So we have a rifinement of tool as a job gets more specific. This also reminds me of Damian Hirst chemists cabint - where it looked pretty accurate but was organised in authentically as the drugs were plced in it by the artist who did not consider the practicalities of dispensing drugs. Kim is clear she collects real objects for the museum - the Narrative is important but she thinks the object exists without it - we know it has a narrative because it's there so we have no need of a specific narrative or a real story to make it real -

having been with amanda who had just been wokring with students about auras and using our aura scoring sheets! they deicided museums were factual and art galleries evocative, intersteing considered against this bloody personal narrative argument perhaps?
