I had my 24th birthday today (well, technically yesterday now) – birthdays always make me think back to what I was doing this time a year ago, and two years ago, etc etc. Not just birthdays really, but any fixed, annual event that sort of pins the various bits of your life together. I think I'm stretching this one out as long as possible; I went for lunch with my parents and my friend Zoe, then had a few other friends come round during the course of this afteroon/evening, something else happening tomorrow, then the plan is to do something with my friends from uni on tuesday evening. I was given a cactus as a birthday present today, by a friend who it turned out didn't know I'm using cacti in the installation – it's very appropriate, anyway!
Started clearing out my studio space at uni towards the end of last week, which i found quite sad. But got a chance to speak to my tutor, which made me feel a lot happier about what I'm planning for the show.
I've been looking into how much the balloons are going to cost, and lets just say, it's pretty steep. I need to keep looking I think!
