The last pieces of work that I made were four small water colour sketches of faces. I wrapped them, parcel like, and hung them on a length of chain. It was a way of linking them together, to say that although, wrapped, they all look the same outside but under that layer they are all different.

Rather like the original pieces place in the Art School – they are all site specific and combine in the overall meaning of the place they are sited but underneath the meaning and makers are different.
The critique on how I had made and displayed these small parcels didn’t go well and the general opinion was that they were to “perfectly” wrapped and didn’t fit with the other things I showed. The context wasn’t right for them and perhaps I should have only shown them or not included them at all. Something to remember for my degree show – don’t include everything, sometimes less is more as the saying goes!
At the end of the week in Cyprus I feel great, chilled and ready to face the last few week’s of challenges working towards the Degree Show.
