On Wednesday, I went on a trip to London galleries with other MA students, and tutors Charlie and Megha. While some were trying to fit in as many galleries as possible, I had decided to limit myself to two major […]
A neglected blog sits in the corner of my room, glowering at me resentfully, as it has been for some months. Tonight I finally resolved to face it head-on, and wrote a respectabley sized post to update. Then I tried […]
This week, instead of being zapped with a laser, I have been blasted with tiny crystal particles, then pricked with a tiny needle. The glycolic acid has remained the same. I’d be sceptical about all this, except that my skin […]

The degree show is now over. We have to go in tomorrow to remove everything, and I've been planning what I need to do to get everything out smoothly. Not quite sure how I'll get it all in the car, […]
