“What’s for tea?”
“What did you do today?” ... “Nothing much.”
page 1 Objects can often be defined when used within a space or by a person. When I look at an object taken out of context and worn on a person, the object becomes something new. With a fascination for peoples belongings, it only made sense to look at how these become characters in their own right without their designated owner. Through the medium of photography, Meat-and-Potatoes has looked at the objects that are overused and under appreciated in our daily lives. It is when living amongst them that it is more apparent that they almost form our world and our lives within it. Imagine wakening up with nothing to reach for. Whether this be the comfort of the lumps of your duvet that at ten years old you still feel at home with it’s worn ways or whether it be the rectangular box that sends out a repetitive drone which only gets louder and more of an annoyance as the minutes pass quicker than usual on a Monday morning. Or perhaps its the familiar feeling of opening the front door just as you have forgotten the back door keys. Now take a minute to remove each object from yourself as you go through your day. And now you are beginning to connect with objects and see them as your toolbox where without the hammer you’ve only got nails.

“Well I just need some cash out.”
“You should’ve brought it with you.”
“There’s not very much likeable about her, that’s the thing.”

Great for my burger night, easy to use and even easier - no washing up!
I ate 137 and a half of these in one sitting whilst watching three of the police academy films in non-chronological order and did not feel very refreshed at all.
Need cheap egg boxes that do not need to look pretty but function as temporary egg protectors? Then these egg boxes will do the job. Packaging is minimal but again, is just about adequate.
I used to drink a cup of coffee in the morning but now I’ve found that Red Bull does the job a lot better.
