r/knolling

I am so excited for everything in this photo

This was part of a past class assignment that started by collecting a list of things you interact with over 24 hours, then compiling a lay flat knoll or bricolage arrangement of the most used/memorable items :)

This arrangement includes (from left to right) my favorite plaid shirt, body wash, purple paint, my laptop, lanyard, phone charger, wallet, necklace, amethyst crystal chunk, perfume, sketchbook, ID card, hairbrush, Doc Martin boots, a Capri Sun, and a mechanical pencil.

Was preparing my lunch for tomorrow and decided to lay it all out! My first time posting to r/knolling

1977 Sharp calculator, sewing tape, paper clips, caliper, lamp with magnifying glass, South Africa/ Qatar flag pin, notice board pins, brushes, scissors, screwdriver, binder clips, saw set, small hooks, tie hanger, J- knife, brush, tin.

The lot from one pawn shop and one charity shop. Putting the flag pin under the magnifying glass was one of my brightest ideas.

Any suggestions about the arrangement?

We’re visiting as many museums as humanly possible!

Clockwise from left:

Seahorse, crocodile removed from egg attached by umbilical, sloth fetus, Surinam toad. Do Women Have to be Naked to Get Into the Met Museum?, Guerilla Girls (1989). Whaam!, Roy Lichtenstein (1963). Untitled, David Shrigley (2004). Unicorn detail excerpted from The Legend of Saint Stephen tapestry (before 1503). The Snail, Henri Matisse (1953). Blue Water Lilies, Claude Monet (1916-19). Meet Me In Heaven I Will Wait For You, Tracey Emin (2004). Mad Tracey from Margate. Everyone’s been there, Tracey Emin (1997). The Noble Pastoral, Suzanne Husky (2017). Sight, from The Lady and the Unicorn series of tapestries (about 1500). London Canal Museum (self-explanatory).

Descending from center:

Maman, Louise Bourgeois (1999). Porcupine also excerpted from The Legend of Saint Stephen tapestry. The Floor Scrapers, Gustave Caillebotte (1875).

Almost all of these were thrifted or gifted. What can I say, I love Scrabble. Dates range from 1970s to the present!
