  1. Well, when I think about beds i think about safety; the feeling of climbing into bed at night and being able to throw the covers over your head to hide from the monsters, and even the safety coming from having your mom take care of you while you are sick in bed. Think about when you are out of town and spending nights in hotels, all you want to do is get home to your bed.
    I also thought that one bed could be about flying while another could be all about falling-linking to the dreams that we have.
    Just some thoughts.

  2. I was thinking that maybe we could play on the idea by creating a flower 'bed', not like a bed covered in flowers, but a place where flowers are planted. Throughout the series of beds, the flowers can grow and the beds could also evolve. Perhaps starting with a crib, moving on to a twin bed or day bed, and ending with an adult bed, maybe a four poster or a sleigh bed. The plants/flowers could serve as the posts and roots could serve as the beds' support.

  3. I came up with the idea to use the style of Minimalism to create deeply researched and eye-catching compositions with the many shapes, sizes and colors provided/available by sleeping pills. The idea struck me when thinking about reflecting our culture through the art that is currently expressed, not just in our visual art but also, film, theatre, architecture and music--take for example Steve Reich's "Piano Phase," a brilliantly composed minimalist instrumental piece that uses "repetition" to affect unity in lustrous style. The following is a URL, so that you may all take a listen and have a musical understanding of Minimalism at it's finest:

    Again, my idea is to use Minimalism to express deeply thought out/researched compositions with the use of sleeping pills (the shapes, sizes and colors anyways... heh heh).

    There are many different types of sleep aids used today in America and the Western World, some include the following and are used for different sleep disorders: Eszopiclone (Lunesta), Ramelteon (Rozerem), Triazolam — a benzodiazepine derivative (Halcion), Zaleplon (Sonata), Zolpidem (Ambien)--just to name a few.
