I Am For The Design…

I Am For The Design…

I am for the Design of the artist; tortured with the gift of perception

I am for the Design of the mundane observer, living inside the mind

I am for the Design of the seeker; chasing the roots

I am for the Design of Nationality, holding us as a collective

I am for the Design of controversy, making the chaos our alternative

I am for the Design of everything; abnormal and necessary

I am for the Design of meaning, both micro and macrocosmic

I am for the Design of interchanging minds; creating the unthinkable

I am for the Design of time; hastening us to a finish

I am for the Design of the philosopher who is content 

I am for the Design of the reactions that cross our internal waves

I am for the Design of the succession; perspiring positive emotion

I am for the Design of change, movements to motives

I am for the Design of the proclaimer, unburdening their mind

I am for the Design of the calm subtlety; noticeably professional

I am for the Design of the opportunity; surrendering conformity

I am for the Design of the trace of our meaning

I am for the Design of the healing

I am for the Design of the distractions, resulting in inspiration

I am for the Design of the keen spectator, noticing the unnoticed

I am for the Design of the medium, complex and fluctuating

I am for the Design of the counsellor, the shepherd, and the warden of our minds

I am for the Design of determination, allowing one to succeed beyond expectations

I am for the Design of the documented, revealing our history in imagery

I am for the Design of the arbitrary, leaving themselves open

I am for the Design of the damned; digging themselves out

I am for the Design of me, and the Design of you

I am for the Design of loving; the centre of our actions

This piece of work, titled 'I Am For The Design', was inspired by Clause Oldenburg's 'Manifesto', titled 'I Am For An Art'. Observing this work I focused in on certain aspects, category's of which Oldenburg wanted to emphasize upon. I decided to follow the philosophical roots to his work and build upon them, showing in nearly every paragraph of my work. The manifesto was great help to me and allowed me to focus in on material of which apply to Design rather than Art; allowing me to have more insight to Design itself.
