Contemporary drawing: Line as a border

We have had a new assignment. It is called: Line as a border. 
I have to think about borders around me. They can be in various forms as in: Physical, mental, public, private, real or unreal and so on. Materials are free and size as well. 

We had to make a plan about our thoughts about border as a line. 
I haven't had a exact idea yet but there where a few things that where interesting to do experiments with:
* Context as a border
* A map with it's borders
* And then I thought of things that may look like they do not have a border. For example dreaming or internet. But then if you go into that, that is untrue because the border of a dream is waking up and the border of internet is a device.
(With the information I collect I want to see what I can create)

I have been looking into these (living) artists:

What interest me in these artists is: 
The way Simon puts everything in order as we can see in an artwork like 'everything I have'. This is about 1500 things we use in our modern live, but do we need them all to survive?


The way Nedko is playing with the small texts in a space. As a spectator you are sucked into those text like he is almost forcing you to read them, on the other hand they are mostly airy but you can find several layers within them. I like the combination of text to an object.


The way Joseph is using his text interests me as well, he is doing it differently. He has being deaf since the age of 10. He started to collect the notes where people wrote on to ask him things when he couldn't read their lips. These papers (napkins, flyers, recipes etc.) are used in his artwork these days. Here I also like the way they are arranged. (colour, size etc.)


The assignment I am doing at the moment have the following results so far:


This a little book I am making.

Here I want to see if there will happen something interesting while cutting some borders, this is an experiment so I have to see where this will bring me.

This is going to be my year, although I am going to try my very best to make this my year, my year. It means I am going to graduate around May 2013. For this I am working on a big project and I want it to be stunning, mind blowing and more! To begin with, I want to take my Tetris project as a base for this new project. The elements that fascinated me are: - The pieces all together make something new (this can be changed every time). - The role that the owner has towards his own work. - The multifunctional pieces, they can be used for other purposes as well. With this in mind I started thinking about this new project.  Somewhere during the summer holiday I found this pictures of myself. I am around 1 year old. I put it in a frame, and I became more fascinated every time I looked at it. Me being so unaware of what is going to come up to me in live, having so much fun that very moment. I am happy. So I wanted to use this photo of me, because I feel very

This is a new course I am joining, it started last week, Monday 12 March. In this course we first talked about public art, street art and environmental art. The teacher introduced us to these kinds of art by showing a powerpoint with works in there from: Banksy Anish Kapoor Niki de saint Phalle Antony Gormley After that we got the assignment: Combine things like street art, environmental art and public art. Tell the public your story, your style and everyone's creative philosophy in this project. Make your own public work for one day. I came with the next idea: I will make make ball shaped pieces of porcelain. I will stand somewhere in the public space where a lot of people are passing by. I will ask the persons who pass by, to grab 1 ball and throw it at the ground. Before they do that I will ask them to, when they throw it,  think about something that upsets them  or that makes them angry (in their life or world wide). I will collect
