Week 15: Celebrating what we are and hope to be.
Looking at the past and drawing on it for the future. Finding solutions. Finding asking and answering questions. Sounds so simple. The final Crit. Stage 1. Artefact. The objects thats only purpose was to generate a catalogue. The sign now deconstructed, folded and reformed- I liked it crumpled. The Haunting Photos – waiting. The lips….
Week 15: Jars urns and bowls.
Leach, Luci, Keats, and me. Connected though objects and words. Leach has handed me via his Moon Jar a better understanding of creating an Object that means something more than just the materials its made with. Keats with his Ode to a Grecian Urn has helped me answer the question why and how we do…
Week 15: List to fill forms to sign and lovely reference notes.
These have been such a help. On my shelf along with Vasari and Ceninni. Nothing can replace clear consistent instructions when learning and invaluable when creating. My notes are now trashed and being able to pop back on line and retrieve a new copy is great.

Week 15: ‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,’ – that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.-Keats 1819…..200 years ago.
‘It is a wonderful picture’, said Keats of Benjamin West’s painting ‘Death on the Pale Horse’, which he saw in December 1817. ‘But there is nothing to be intense upon; no women one feels mad to kiss; no face swelling into reality. The excellence of every Art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeables…
Week 15: Stills. Crop positions and print
Indesign does the job, the stills I am printing feel closer to want I wanted to achieve. Filming was a very effective way of gathering a huge amount of information which I then edited to find the images I wanted. Overlaying them in the video clips allowed me to revisit my emotional response to each…
