| Summary: | ‘Don’t Throw Away: Notes On The West Coast House’ is a visual narrative and autobiography that
aims to explore creative ways of using inanimate objects to tell immersive narratives. Drawing influence
from ‘The Cultural Biography Of Things’ and conducting ‘Object Biographies’ (Kopytoff, 1986), this project
looks at the objects in my multigenerational home as ‘living’ and ‘active’ devices of family history, memory
and meaning. Through the collection of biographical information surrounding the objects in my home, this
project experiments with the variety of ways inanimate objects can be used to visually convey narrative
setting, plot, character, emotion, conflict, and theme. This project also explores the use of ‘The Book’ and its
format as an active narrative object in creating immersive experiences of storytelling and visual
communications.
