Time Capsule

Following my visit to the Memory Palace exhibition I chose 6 photos and objects that represented significant memories in my life which i would then use to create 6 models made out of simple materials like paper, card, cocktail sticks etc.. and then bury them to be dug up in 2023.

The 6 memories i chose were:

• Going to venice on holiday, 
• Almost falling under a train in France,
• Going to Norwich where my grandparents lived,
• Reading Festival,
• My pet guinea pigs,
• My dad coming back from Spain.

To create a representation of what happened in France i cut a train shape out of paper and drew on the detail, I then put it on a map of france to indicate the location.

Making small objects out of paper was more difficult than I thought it would be as it was quite challenging to fit everything together without making it look messy or accidentally breaking another part of it.

I decided to bury my time capsule in my local park, I chose this place because i spent a lot of my childhood there and I like to go there to relax as it has nice views and a pond.

I buried the time capsule under this tree, its a nice place to sit in the summer and the ground was good for digging.
