Collecting is the most important

Collecting has been the biggest part of the project. With it been the foundation of the piece with the whole point collecting lost, abandoned and broken objects to display them. With five of us in a group collecting it should be easy, or so we thought we have found that it’s a much bigger task than anticipated. We started off with the campus, knowing full well it might not be the best place because it is cleaned but we did manage to find stuff behind buildings such as the LPAC, The Engine Shed, Architecture and Business and Law buildings. we found the most in the area around the LPAC/Engine Shed and found things such as a broken chair, a ball and tyre ect. We then decided to move further into the town and look in places such as the centre of the city and up and out towards Portland Street and further. We managed to find quite a few more objects than anywhere else around these areas. We also have looked around the areas of the Brayford, outskirts of Lincoln, cathedral area. We have pretty much looked around the whole of Lincoln and it’s outskirts and managed to collect a whole range of objects some of the most impressive being a wedding dress, full vinyl record sets, guitars and keyboards and also things like the televisions. We are continually collecting right up until our performance day as we are hoping to have lots of objects to show people around. With collecting taking up lots of our time we have had to work twice as hard and learnt to appreciate the stuff on the street as lost, broken and abandoned objects.
