Consumption Brainstorming

Some things that I consume or that consume me are:

water, oatmeal, apples, electricity, phone battery, hairspray, toothpaste, toothbrush, energy, tv, computer, facebook, time, lead, ink, sleep, running, exercise, lotion, friends, cheerleading, photography, nature, nail polish, gas, car, cigarettes, music, beer, hair, clothes, art, ink, paper, dr. pepper, bread, ice, sausages, eggs, bagels, cereal, family, boyfriend, pool, tanning, bikes, hair ties, sandals, homework, cell phone, headphones, tv shows, bookbag, books, charcoal, mexican food, retainer, sheets, bed, blankets, pillow, desk, sink, refrigerator, oven, stove, spoons, knives, forks, toilet paper, nails, shampoo, fast food, soap, razors, fries.

There are many more things that I will add on at some point. I have three ideas that keep coming back. One is making a picture skirt. I would attach pictures of friends and family. They are people who consume most of my time and photography is one things that consumes my time as well.

My second idea is getting cigarette buts and somehow making them all connect and make a necklace because cigarettes control a lot of my life. At the bottom of the necklace I would make a big circle with a slash in it symbolizing that I am trying to quit.

My last idea would be using on of my friends and writing facebook stuff all over them (such as the facebook symbol, comments, status quotes, relationship status, how your feeling, etc.) and photographing them with just a bathing suit on to symbolize that facebook consumes so much of a persons life. The bathing suit shows that people put so much of themselves out on facebook that their is barely anything else left to share. I know that facebook consumes a lot of my life as well.
