I also want it to serve as an interactive piece with my audience, therefore it would be different depending on the viewer.I wanted to include a kind of maze atmosphere and the viewer would become more aware of who i was as they progressed throught the artwork. My inspiration for this artwork came from the Guerilla Art documentary. It could also act as a timeline which shows the experiences and progresses through my life.
It would contain certain items/ornaments which would represent and depict certain thoughts/emotions and act as symbolic interpretations. In conjunction, i would use the forms of photography, video, drawings etc. to fully encapsulate the artwork's presence.

Malediction - Ann Hamilton
Ann Hamilton made social comments without saying a word. In ‘Malediction’ (1992), a woman repeatedly tore a piece of bread dough from a large bowl, bit it, pressed it into her palette with her fingers, and then set it down in a pile of hundreds of others in a large wicker coffer. She sat facing a wall heaped to the ceiling with laundered sheets. It was a disturbing testament to women’s silent history.
EXAMPLE STUDY #2
Installation art is difficult to describe. In principal, it means taking a large interior (the exterior can be part of an installation, too) and loading it with disparate items that evoke complex and multiple associations and thoughts, longings, and moods. It's a huge three-dimensional painting, sculpture, poem, and prose work. It is about recontextualising the current atmosphere of a region and altering its shape and meaning.
Comforter (aka The Everything Will Be Okay Blanket)
An exercise re-contextualizing an interpersonal phrase + personifying a domestic item in exchange for the reassurance of an intimate relationship. The blanket was made to function as both a sweet gesture & as an amplification of the superficial comfort of consoling phrases - a literal play on the blanket as an emotionally comforting facade.

A Modder who goes by the name of "DRHECK" basically "wanted to recontextualise Nintendo's controller by turning the sterile, white plastic into something much more natural."
OTHER EXAMPLES
installation art - Art that is or has been installed — arranged in a place — either by the artist or as specified by the artist. It might be either site-specific or not, and either indoors or out. The term became widely used in the 1970s and 1980s, and continues to be employed by many people. Installations may be temporary or permanent, but most will be known to posterity through documentation. As a consequence, one aspect of installations is often the difficulty with which they can be commoditised.
