Day 116

'Wallet', Pen and Marker on Paper

We seem to have a preoccupation for creating objects to contain numerous smaller objects for the various different facets of our daily routine. The wallet being a perfect example, it holds our money, bank cards, loyalty cards, identification, receipts from items bought years ago that are reaching the end of their self life, cards and scraps of paper with the numbers of people whose face or relevance we can no longer recall, photographs of those people that we are never likely to forget. It's again another means for us to confine the clutter in our lives to a smaller area and generate the illusion that we are in some sort of state of organisation. However when it comes time to actually access something in particular it never seems to be exactly where you thought it was, instead you spend what seems like an eternity in a blind panic rifling though ever other object you own containing multiple smaller objects in order to find that one thing that you really need at that moment. So even with all the things that we own which are used to create an element of being organised we somehow always end up as lost as when things are left in complete chaos.
