Degree Show Week.
Set up was a lot of work, respect to my friends on the course for all of the help. Come the opening I was sleeping on the couch as we had visitors down every day from the North, support from the family a big highlight. During set up I had decided to offer most of the work on loan to the Institutions involved in the making of the work. The sponsors had a look around the show the day before the private view.
V.I.P. Breakfast . Thursday 16 June 8am – 11am
At the event Landmark gave out a joint award to Darius Lambert & myself. I made a couple of sales to Landmark were the work will hang in Heron Tower in the public domain.
PRIVATE VIEW – Thursday 16 June 6 – 9pm
Interest came from a few private buyers over the week, work not in the show & commissions. I heard I had been shortlisted to feature on the cover of an magazine.
Friends and Family Day on Saturday 18 June from 11 – 5pm.
Everyone from Reverspective turned up, A friend from the University staff made some introductions and Family drove down from Manchester. More Family turned up Sunday till Wednesday. By Wednesday I ran out of postcards. I heard Tuesday work was shortlisted to show in Clyde & Co offices at St Botolphs building.

My cousin turned up whose degree show I seen last year in Sunderland, and he helped me take the show down, we went to one of my tutors openings and we had a weekend seeing the sights in London. Most of my mates who never made it are receiving a postcard exhibition over the next few weeks. Here are some photos of the show.
