In the space of one week, elation of our Degree show opening has officially turned into the oddness of taking work down and leaving the studios for the last time as students. The preview night was absolutely heaving with people, and supposedly was one of the biggest degree show turnouts our course has ever had. I spent most of the night howling around with my friends who arrived, and met some really interesting people while I was invigilating the next day. I thought it was a really good finale to all our hardwork.

Today was the day we uninstalled everything. We had a meeting with some of the tutors before the goodbyes started, prizes and awards were given out, one of which I am humbly able to admit I received. It’s a really great feeling to have some recognition for the work put in, and to know that there are people out there who really respond and engage with your work.

So the question on everyone’s mind: What next? I have an interview for something next week, and there are a few other opporunities we have been given a chance to apply for, so we’ll see what happens. I am heading off to America with my son, to visit my parents for about 3 weeks. I leave at the end of June, and to be honest I can’t WAIT. It’s in the middle of no where, but I think it will be exactly what I need right now. A chance to get away, unwind, re evaluate. I’ve got to say, I’m really looking forward to not using my brain.
