A habit disruptive to efficiency in Ghanaian culture is based on the idea that seeds and the juicy flesh around the seeds of the tomato bring bad luck if consumed. Time is used to seed the tomato and devoid it of flesh that have otherwise been used without issue. Universally, these habits become less obvious as resources become more abundant, but decoration and time devoted to elevating one's aesthetic worth is a debatably extraneous habit. I am obsessed with global cultural habits that are cogs in the wheel of efficiency and I am trying to relay their benefits as time " persists merely as a consequence of the events taking place in it" (Heidegger). I am looking at why people do what we do or how we develop a pattern for managing time. I doing this through the development of a habitually rendered humanoid culture created by collaging semiotic triggers of global cultural habits together.


I am collecting frames. I want lots of found frames to put my work in, but I want the images to go to the edge of the frame and for them to not be matted, so I will see what happens.

I worked with color a lot this week. the results were positive, but the images of my humanoids were getting lost a little. my camera is missing so I will post pictures when that shows up.
