With just a few weeks to go ’til the joy of the Degree Show, there’s not really any point in me pretending that I’ll post frequently on here – but I certainly will post enough to show the whole process right up until the bitter end. There’d be no point in having started this blog otherwise.
In the next two weeks, I aim to complete all of the artwork required for the show. In the middle of May, we’ll be clearing the studios, painting them, and assembling our displays ready for assessment and the show itself. As much as I do enjoy working under pressure – this time, I intend to be relaxed and ahead of the game. Once the main art is completed, I’ll spend some time finding all the notes etc. that I tend to write/draw in a thousand places, and presenting it all as logically or illogically as I feel like doing.
