In all honesty, I haven't really thought about how I'd like to handle this project. Having just recently moved up to Hyde Park after visiting friends for several years, this is now my home and I love it; I've affectionately nicknamed my new apartment the TARDIS (after the phone box Doctor Who is known to travel in which is bigger on the inside and is home to many of his traveling companions). There are weekends when I'm asked to house sit back in Harrison while my mum's away to take care of the pets I couldn't bring to my apartment. While I don't mind, I don't generally enjoy going home because of the grief I get from my extremely elderly great-gran, who makes me feel very unwelcome in my own house.
I'd love to hear some feedback or mostly just bounce ideas off of our small group if we talk about this - maybe exploring what makes your home "home". Why does it feel so welcoming and what makes someone feel not-so-welcome? How could I possibly interpret this into a piece?
Honestly, after reading the post title and having a boyfriend whose mildly obsessed with Dr. Who, I expected this to be more about the Tardis, and I got really excited. When you said about your apartment, I thought it was larger on the inside than on the outside, like the Tardis. You could work with this idea, and how you can make your own apartment anything you want it to be, and it can take you anywhere you want to go, like growing up, becoming more independant, etc. I don't know, just an idea! :]
