Finished

I had my very last official day at college this week, its a little sad but very exciting too.  Project hand in day was a total nightmare and almost had a nervous breakdown though, my hard drive broke and had to go to the menders!  I thought I had lost all my data (which of course I hadn't backed up! - back up people very very very important, I will be doing it from now on!)  luckily I got all my work back but I had to re-write and essay in super quick time, but its all over now!  All I have to do now is work on promoting my degree show.

It starts on the 19th of June at The Ruskin Gallery, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.  

More details and pretty posters to follow.  If anybody is in Cambrid

ge please pop along.

this is from page 8 (ish!) in my book:

more from my project

Its getting a bit close now to finishing my degree, only 2 weeks to finish my showcase project and write 3 essays (which I have been putting off for about a year!) I've just been choosing which images from the book should go on the walls for the exhibition.  Here is one that didn't make it onto the wall:

and one that did:

Interestingly I decided not to put 2 of my favourites into the exhibition because they didn't really work with the rest of the work as a whole.  In the end it was more of a case of getting the balance right and thinking about the exhibition as a whole which swung the decision rather than individual images.  So I had to let 2 of my favouites slip through!  They are in the book though, so that is OK and also the book is the most important thing.  Tomorrow, I take the chosen 14 images to the printers, so I now have a whole evening of changing my mind ahead of me!

my book is ready!!!

After much deliberation over the title of much book and stresses about the layout, my book is finished!  It is for my final showcase project and will go in an exhibition with some images from the book printed out and mounted on the wall.  I am so relieved that it is finished and am really pleased with how it looks.

Project

My showcase project is going well, I have slightly changed the route I am following and now focussing on 'home'.  Same idea, just a different focus point to the project.  Anyway as Johny is a big part if my home, quite a lot of the pictures are of him.  This is one of my favourites - cute!
