Follow  the  ribbon.  

Page 2: Firsts experimental research report

                 Instruc)ons:      •  I  slice  my  morning  fruit.  Count  the  seeds  in  my  oranges.  Count  the  seeds  in  my  strawberries.  Count  the  seeds  in  my  kiwi  fruit.  Count  the  seeds  in  my  peach.  Add  the  numbers  together  =  64  and  divide  by  my  lucky  number,  16  =  4.  

Page 3: Firsts experimental research report

           

The  local  morning  paper  arrives  on  my  doorstep.  I  use  the  randomly  selected  number  to  isolate  a  word  in  today’s  headline.  

The  number  is  4  and  the  word  is  ‘FAMILY’.  (insert  image  of  newspaper  here)  

 

Page 4: Firsts experimental research report

 I  travel  5km  from  home  base  in  any  random  direcKon  looking  for  discarded  objects,  moments,  people,  thoughts  or  sounds  that  

remind  me  of  this  word.    

Page 5: Firsts experimental research report

Images  that  connect  us  with  FAMILY.  

Page 6: Firsts experimental research report

 We  are  five.  

Page 7: Firsts experimental research report

We  are  three.  

Page 8: Firsts experimental research report

We  hunt,  we  gather.  

Page 9: Firsts experimental research report

We  hoard,  we  harbour,  we  hold  on  Kght.  

Page 10: Firsts experimental research report

 We  shaOer,  we  break.  

Page 11: Firsts experimental research report

 We  eat  to  so  we  don’t  have  to  speak.  

Page 12: Firsts experimental research report

We  write  too  oPen  or  not  at  all.  

Page 13: Firsts experimental research report

We  remember  our  youth.  

Page 14: Firsts experimental research report

     We  love  despite.  

Page 15: Firsts experimental research report

We  grow  old  together.  

Page 16: Firsts experimental research report

We  are  liOle  girls  grown  up.

 …Where  did  she  go?    

 Why  did  she  lose  her  ribbon?  Why  was  it  placed  so  perfectly  for  me  to  find?  It  was  like  finding  a  piece  of  myself  on  the  footpath.  I  stopped  suddenly  

because  it  reminded  me  of  so  many  things.  The  hundreds  of  bows  Ked  in  

my  hair.  Where  did  they  all  go?

MeKssage  by  Mademoiselle  Maurice    

Exploring  the  use  of  ribbons  in  art.  The  placement  of  the  ribbon  defines  its  purpose.  Different  ribbons  signify  different  

things.  

Page 19: Firsts experimental research report

Me#isage  is  a  street  project  by  French  arKst  Mademoiselle  Maurice.  Dressing  ciKes  and  making  street  art  with  ribbons.  In  this  context  they  serve  as  a  decoraKve  contrast  to  the  grey  

street  exterior.  

Page 20: Firsts experimental research report

Are  ribbons  more  significant  dependent  on  their  placement?  Do  they  change  the  meaning  of  an  

object?  

Page 21: Firsts experimental research report

Experiment:  tying  ribbons  around  different  objects.  What  does  it  mean  now?  What  did  it  mean  before?  

Page 22: Firsts experimental research report

Is  this  sKll  rubbish?  

Page 23: Firsts experimental research report

Is  this  a  present  or  a  piece  of  fruit?  

Page 24: Firsts experimental research report

       

Ribbons  are  just  lines.  When  does  a  line  become  a  ribbon?    

 Ribbons  are  just  lines  Ked  in  bows.  A  ribbon  becomes  a  bow  when  it  is  Ked.  A  bow  becomes  a  ribbon  when  it  is  

unKed.  It’s  the  INTENTION  that  defines  what  is  ulKmately  the  same  thing….but  

we  call  it  something  else.  

Page 25: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  tell  us  where  we  are.  

Page 26: Firsts experimental research report

             

What  do  different  lines  mean?    

Data  collecKon  from  the  random  locaKon  #2:  

Page 27: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  tell  us  who.  

Page 28: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  lead.  

Page 29: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  swirl  for  no  good  reason.  

Page 30: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  crack  and  show  the  Kme.  

Page 31: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  contain  and  communicate.  

Page 32: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  support.  

Page 33: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  scramble.  

Page 34: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  grow.  

Page 35: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  show  the  way.  

Page 36: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  divide  the  sky.  

Page 37: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  in  nature.  

Page 38: Firsts experimental research report

 Lines  that  keep  things  in.  

Page 39: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  keep  things  out.  

Page 40: Firsts experimental research report

Lines  that  are  wriOen.  

Page 41: Firsts experimental research report

When  do  lines  cease  to  be  lines?  When  do  they  become  something  

else?  They  are  sKll  lines.    

Is  a  ribbon  a  ribbon  or  is  a  ribbon  a  line?  Or  both?

Pencil  Drawing:  Jennah  Porter    

ExperimenKng  with  lines.  Do  we  see  ribbons  or  lines?  It’s  a  maOer  of  percepKon.  

Page 43: Firsts experimental research report

Ink  drawing:  Jennah  Porter  

 Are  these  lines  or  bows?  Are  objects  defined  only  by  the  names  

we  give  them?  “  A  rose  by  any  other  name  would  smell  as  sweet:”  Shakespeare.  

 

Page 44: Firsts experimental research report

 The  rock  is  pink  because  we  say  it  is.    Rocks  don’t  move  but  this  one  does.  

Page 45: Firsts experimental research report

             

Are  objects  limited  by  our  percepKon  and  the  names  we  give  them  or  are  

they  capable  of  defying  that?
