Using objects such as cars to represent different arrays of thoughts or a certain mood within the head brought me to the idea of conveying these thoughts and moods but without using the face itself. That is when I began to experiment with popcorn. I found it an appropriate subject matter to use because of the way it explodes and expands - like a frustrated mind. When a popcorn starts off as a kernel it is small and neat and a large amount can fit into a small space, but once it is heated the kernels flare up and overfill this space - a bit like my head when it's in overdrive. Also attempted to do a stop motion video which I did not include because the popcorn went flying everywhere with the lid off the saucepan, it left me with very little control and there was a mess to clean up, which again is similar to frustrated thoughts.
