They never run out. But then I thought about how people are always so emotionally drained. We deal with so many emotions everyday and it\u2019s amplified when big events happen\u2014deaths, weddings, break-ups, births, holidays, injuries, etc. What does it even mean to be emotionally available anymore?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Kinser\u2019s project also critiques our modern consumer culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile there would certainly be no need to purchase emotions\u2014they\u2019re a natural act of being human\u2014our consumer culture tells that buying something will help us work through an emotional time in our lives. This project is related to the idea of &#8216;drinking your way through&#8217; a situation. It&#8217;s an observation on the consumption of emotional availability,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to love, Kinser crafted concoctions for several other common emotions, including fear, anger, confusion, and excitement. She used a variety of unique ingredients to get the color for each emotion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the ingredients were chosen by color. Fear, for instance, in my mind was black. I used India ink and shards of stained glass to evoke the sense of fear. Excitement was blue detergent, pink paint, and liquid from a glow stick. Anger has a thick oozing red paint that lingers like anger would,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to creating the liquid concoction for each emotion, Kinser designed the packaging\u2014plastic bottles with both a classic and modern look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottles themselves were intended to have an old apothecary look with a modern twist. I researched alcohol branding as well as medicinal branding for the look and feel of the bottles. I used vinyl for the typography and wanted to keep them very simple. It was more about the contents in the bottles than the packaging,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11616\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-attachment-id=\"11616\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2014\/06\/utc-graduate-bottles-emotions-innovative-art-project\/kinser-taylor-2014-10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 5&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1397842263&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.12&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kinser-taylor-2014-10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Accompanying tonic guide designed by Taylor Kinser&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-11616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10.jpg\" alt=\"Accompanying tonic guide designed by Taylor Kinser\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10-580x435.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10-250x187.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/06\/kinser-taylor-2014-10-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Accompanying tonic guide designed by Taylor Kinser<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Kinser also created an accompanying tonic guide, called \u201cVictory\u2019s Tonic Guide,\u201d a play on the idea of &#8220;small victories&#8221; and coping with emotions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tonic guide continued the conceptual work by giving recipes of how much of each emotion you need to have to get through big events. The guide meant to be both comical and serious since no one can put a quantity on how much of one emotion a person will need to get through something. I chose to focus on events surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas, since those seem to be the happiest and most stressful times of the year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>So, what emotions make up &#8220;Black Friday&#8221;\u2014the busiest shopping day of the holiday season? Excitement, envy, curiosity, and fear. Eating grandma\u2019s fruitcake has a simpler recipe\u2014fear and curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>Kinser, who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in May 2014, credits her professors and fellow students in her senior studio design course for helping her perfect the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely received several critiques from both my peers and my teacher, Aggie Toppins. As a class, they helped me dive into a deeper meaning with the project. Critiques are a huge part of the\u00a0curriculum\u00a0in the art\u00a0department. One of the most valued skills that we learn in all disciplines, from painting to photography, is how to think critically and conceptually. I have learned why this is so important as a designer. It&#8217;s not enough to be good at using the tools needed to create a design. It is so valuable to be able to think critically and\u00a0abstractedly\u00a0in order to solve a problem and create good designs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Aggie Toppins, UTC Assistant Professor of Graphic Design, calls Kinser a hard-working student who displayed an enthusiasm for design.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaylor&#8217;s project is interesting because the bottles themselves are fun to view and interact with, but there is also a conceptual richness behind the work,\u201d Toppins said. \u201c\u2018Bottled Emotions\u2019 uses the space of commercial packaging to comment on the need for emotional availability in a world dominated by consumer desire. At the same time, the bottles seduce you to pick them up and handle them. I&#8217;ve heard people say, \u2018I want those.\u2019 To that end, Taylor created something which uses desire to critique desire. It\u2019s very clever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kinser&#8217;s art project was also featured in The Huffington Post.
