Week 31: Launch.
Time to create a publication. Great team. We have started researching and have already found a size and format we all agree on. Nate has gone down WW rabbit hole and brought along some books – I’ve have found my direct link to Mary Oliver, Wim Wenders and now to Henry Miller. While I talk…
Week 29: Presentation / tutorial / situating your work.
In my tutorial with Clare she suggest I put up/ displayed the pieces I have produced to date and see how each piece works with the other, pare down and possibly include new pieces if necessary. So my next stage is the edit. I also discussed how I get from my arrangements of objects and…

We are back to needs- Bessie Smith – Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl (1931) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meuwKhPGItk She really is not going to take her bowl around to the neighbour to be filled….I hope- https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2008/jul/12/popandrock.film.

Week 28: Where am I in my work.
The whole question is bugging me, probably I’m too close to see myself in my work, maybe you don’t have to be in your work. I realise why I just respond or simply work objectively. Without that I have no set of rules no direction or finishing point. The relationship between myself and the object…
