Copy Collection

GREEN [green]
definition: The color achieved when combining the primary colors yellow and blue. Commonly associated with life, Kermit the frog, and envious people.

This collection is of things that I own that are green, which happens to be a lot. It is my favorite color and I tend to gravitate toward it when I buy stuff, sometimes unknowingly. The collection is kind of a poking fun at myself for all these things I've acquired, as well as paying tribute to the most awesome color!

Things to be included in this collection:
1. Green sunglasses-These are cool shades I got at Reggaefest and wear all the time! I'm surprised they haven't broken yet because I tend to break my sunglasses.
2. Green scarf-Of course this is my favorite scarf. I got it a couple years ago and look forward to cold weather when I can bust it out! It is simple but pretty.
3. Green purse-My sister gave this to me as a Christmas gift. Being my sister and all, she knows me well.
4. Green earrings-I believe I got these at the fair on ring road my freshman year of college. They remind me of living in the dorms and that whole year, which is when I wore them the most.
5. Green wallet-I can't even remember when I got this, sometime back in high school. I think it's from Target and I don't use it too much anymore because it is kind of small.
6. Green toothbrush-This was given to me by the gods! Just kidding, but I went grocery shopping at Trader Joe's and when I was unpacking my items I found this in one of the bags, not having bought it. It must have gotten left behind by the previous customer in line and then put into my bag! I'll take it. And it's eco-friendly :)
7. Green loufa-My mom bought me this when I went back to school. It works quite well to lather soap.
8. Green towel-When I left for college my family helped me stock up on all the necessities, including towels. I picked green towels and have had them since. I had to buy some new ones at some point though, because some of mine fell out of the boxes we had in the truck while traveling from the bay area to Irvine on the freeway. So I bought new green ones!
9. Green jacket-I have a couple of green jackets. This one my sister gave to me as a Christmas present again, I believe. She knows I love green so she can't go wrong if she gives me a green present. I think she's just playing it safe...
10. Green bra-Scandalous! Not really, I bought this because I thought it was fun and bright. It's from the Pink collection. Sadly, I don't wear it that much. Except I tend to always wear it on St. Patricks day along with my green outfit.

Other possibilities to the collection that I'm thinking about....Green shoes, green belt, green socks, green shirt, green vase..

  1. If you're going to push the idea of your love for "green", you should push it visually to the limits. The love should be on the verge of disturbing obsession. Why not install it as a display depicting hundreds of things in green to get your point across. Or is it going to be photos? Look at arists like Yayoi Kusama and Louise Nevelson.
