Let's start positive… have made 1 pinhole camera out of oak. It is a thing of beauty to behold, whether it will work is another question and involves a little bit of maths and according to my brain training, is my least strong skill. Also when I say have made, not I but we (thank you John, a batch of chocolate brownies will make their way to you shortly!) However, it is one of 4 (suppose to be 5 but there is the pressing of time).
Now for the negative… IT'S THE 8TH OF APRIL!!! in one months time, everything, and I mean everything must be finished and ready to be presented for assessment! Fot those who did not know, we are under the evil constraints of the university calander and that is why we have our degree show and assessments so much earlier (we lose a whole 4 weeks due to semesterisation… why that could make that extra pinhole camera, some prints and notebooks possible!)
But nooooooo, have one month left. Not sure how to handle this pressure. At least there is progress, even if it's slow. Have begun on making the scrolls that will actually be presented in the space for assessment and thank god I have finally finished those 6 frames (which 1 is only decent, hurrah for filler!)
Right I am finally out of the studio and away home to work on these philosophy notebooks, of which are going nowhere and mean nothing.
But I shall end on a positive, at the DCA there will be an exhibition including the work of one my favourite artists, whose work is a rarity to see, Francesca Woodman. A MUST SEE!!!!
