…and a few more photos…

Not much to say today, just a load of photos. Comments welcome as always. I’m exhausted from getting all this together, hung and plugged in, forms filled and handed in.
I’m getting all my stuff together for my PG Dip assessment tomorrow. I need to make sure I load up the car with everything I need but I’m spending the evening fannying about (as Jo Farnell would say) painting steel hooks white to match the wall and the work. I can’t decide if I need to take my iron and board with me in case it all gets creased up on the way. I’m tempted to just load it into the car anyway, then I can always go and get it later in the day if necessary, then can stop dithering about it.
I’m happy with my pieces of work – assorted embroidered garments as pictured in previous posts – but as usual I’m unsure about my display ideas. But this is the idea I like best, is appropriate to and less intrusive on the work itself. I’ll take some photos of everything so you can tell me what you think. I hope that you will be honest, as it really helps. So, I’m going to put another coat of paint on the hooks and take myself off to bed, in the hope I might sleep.
I’ve found the need to get a handle on this discussion about the personal and the universal that’s been going on in other people’s blogs, namely Jane Boyer’s ( www.a-n.co.uk/p/1800787/ ) and Anthony Boswell’s ( www.a-n.co.uk/p/984199/ ) So in the style of David Riley (see his blog entry no9 on www.a-n.co.uk/p/1101647/ ) I have scribbled down my initial thoughts. At some point, when I find the words, Jane’s discussion on abstraction will slide into it somehow, but in the meantime, I put this up for people to laugh at or comment on. A venn diagram may prove to be a better model, or some rhizomatic mass of blobs (AAARRRGGHHH!!!!). On the other hand, I may consider it all way too Arty-Bollocks and rip the page out.
Research project and associated writing is finished, printed and ready to hand in. I’ll stop going on and on and on about it now. Promise.
