Idea: Teddy Bear Sanctuary
In today's world, I feel it is crucial to have safe spaces for people to retreat to when the current social climate becomes too much. Rest and recharging are important to the human psyche. Many adults also have lost their whimsy and wonder in their journeys from childhood to adulthood, and I would like to help bring those feelings back. In my installation, I aim to create a space reminiscent of blanket forts and playrooms but made to accommodate adults. This space will invite viewers to reclaim their childhood whimsy and enter a soft, warm, and safe place away from their current struggles of adult life.
Materials List:
- Blankets (preferably soft and/or patterned)
- Low table or pedastal
- Stuffed animals (like a billion)
- Cusions/Pillows
- Ball pit
- Ball pit balls
- Tea Set + Snacks
- Nails or tacks or something idk
Artist Inspiration:
I am once again inspired by the artist Yayoi Kusama, specifically her Obliteration Room installation. Like my Mini Installation, I am inspired by Kusama's usage of color, multiples, and transformative nature of space. Kusama's approach to installation will be incorporated into my work through the implementation of bright, rainbow colors, repetition of blankets and stuffed animals, and the complete transformation of the room into a large blanket fort suitable for the viewing experience.
