I’ve finished my paper, now working on my folio and I’m happy to say that I’ve been drawing and making, isn’t that fabulous?! And all of my pieces are liable to topple in a moment, I’ve already disassembled five towers […]
I usually have a clear vision of what I want to say and the direction in which my thoughts will take me when I sit down to write these posts – this week is different. It’s been a week of […]
I had an interesting trip to Munich recently and had the pleasure of visiting the Student show at the Art Academy (Akademie der Bildenden Kunste Munchen). I was wowed by the building and envious of the high windowed studio spaces. […]
