Doing this MA has its ups and downs, and sometimes I’m not sure which is which. I am itching to get going on a few things, but have a deadline on 4th January to hand in my Quilt-As-Essay research assignment, and on the same day have to hang my work for stage 2 assessment. I will be really glad when these are done. And at the moment, don’t care what mark I get, just want to hand them in so I can clear out my head and my work table for other things. So the course does make me finish things, and give me a structure to work within. But I’m sure there are things I’d have left half-finished otherwise… makes me a little worried about life after graduation!
I’m dying to have a go at doing a blind self portrait like Jo Farnell has done in her blog – post 17:
The possibilities in this idea I think are endless, and have the potential to be hysterically funny! Got to have a go – but will wait till everyone has gone out, lock the door and draw the curtains first.
I also want to start playing with clothes for my next idea, which by the time I’ve finished playing, may well end up as part of my final show.
Should I stick with white clothes?
Move to colour?
Make my own or use found items as before?
Embroider white on white as I have before?
Or black on colours?
Or appliqué?
