After practically being "sawed by our ankles" (direct swe-eng translation) last Friday, we dropped our Jeans-project and tried to move on.
Basically it was a big misunderstanding the whole thing. But now we are on the same altitude and ready to make a (hopefully) great project.
We spent the day trying to come up with some new ideas on how to move forward, by trying to apply what we had learned on the jeans-part of the project. We were thinking in ways like:
- How cars tears the road
- How UV-light breaks down our body's
- How water can shape different materials.
They are all examples on how destructing can be a way of ageing, and they are all similar to the jeans in that way.
We moved on with UV-light but got stuck. Then during a talk to Antonio, he helped us on an idea on how we could try to overused objects to their maximum. We are now trying to "speed age" everyday used objects to make them look like the way the should look like if they would have been used every day for a long long time.
So we are not trying to destruct objects, we will simulate how it could look if it's been overused, like if we use a chair everyday for 100 years without breaking it so it looses the ability of a chair, but it will reshape, sharp edges will be rounded for example.

You have to stop just before the object can not be uses anymore, just like you do with cloths. ;)
As well as with cloths the overuse has lo look real. good luck.
if you are looking at pottery why don't look also at spoons and stuff. think about it.
Thanks for your ideas and thoughts! We were actually thinking about using spoons and forks.
My description of our planed work wasn't as specified as it could have been I just realized.
