Wirral Metropolitan College

Have been working on allsorts this week. Essay, Utah trip and core work. Everything has gone smoothly. Sorted out colour red for Utah books. Ended up using printing inks because oils didn't work with gum arabic transfer method. Started five paintings for core. Managed three layers so far and the images are starting to give an atmosphere of silence and contemplation. The books have got the atmosphere I wanted in them. The feeling of fragility and vulnerability of the human form within a landscape. This will be my last posting before my trip to Utah the day after tomorrow. I am now excited as well as nervous, but confident the trip will bring something new to my work.
