My Bathroom Diary_thoughts...

I am continuing my bathroom diary - visually and textually - for now to see what more I can get out of it. I quite like the idea of keeping them for a month - especially the written diary.


The written diary has become a story of my use in the bathroom and I've become quite attached to it. The similarities between the bathroom and the diary, both being private, personal places - one for the physical and one for the mental - poses an interesting juxtaposition being published on the internet.

I have officially decided that my site will be the bathroom I use whilst living at my parents house. Above are some rough location plans of Rolleston, Canterbury where my parents house is situated. The address of which is irrelevant and is not to be posted on the internet.

Regardless whether I take a pragmatic stance or a poetic stance on the bathroom, site will be important so I will start to model it up now. I intend to look over my previous work and reflect upon it to see how I visualize my work with fresh eyes instead of 'tunnel vision'. I will start on this tomorrow, it will be my first full day of study since friday.

Saturday 20th August_Diary Entry

Today is an odd day, I've hardly used the bathroom at all. I was out for most of the day but even in the evening I didn't use it much. I was very tired on Saturday night so I went to bed early-ish and without even brushing my teeth or hair!
