Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of going to the sculpture department’s 2nd year show. Their private view was a great success. I felt like a proud big sister. Everyone’s work was of such a high standard, and the set up […]
1 week to go before putting up my degree show! I don’t graduate until July, but I feel like my time as a student will be finished next week. It’s such a strange feeling. I don’t know how I feel […]
