Busy day- "Face on face facing"

Had a busy day at uni. Made two paintings. "Face on face facing"

DEADLINE

222258 seconds to go- which means A mess!!!

In the middle of everything

Studio space at the moment- empty but messy! Deadline for Start-rite shoe project tomorrow

Work today: Photos, the face and memory

What we are

Drawings from inside

No TIME!!

No time for all of it. So much to do and the things that I would like to do, takes ages to do.

 

Like this beading and stitching piece. 1/3 done and it has been taking more then 30 hours so far. And the annoying thing is that it's only a sample!

No time for this- back to work!

Back to School

 Pollution project in Japan 2010

First real day back at Uni tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it...but at the same time NOT. Last year. More pressure - more work!
Was in Japan at the Osaka Seikei Univeristy Factuly of the Arts, this time last year. Feels like ages ago.

And uni is open. Many new freshers. It's great to be back!! Oh dear, its the last year

The Guardian

The Guardian's University Guide 2012, published on 17th May, has placed Norwich University College of the Arts (NUCA) as the top specialist arts institution in England.

The ranking comes during a period of huge demand for places at the University College which has seen its admissions team dealing with a 15% increase on last year's total of applications to its arts, design and media degree courses - compared with a sector-wide increase of 5%.

NUCA Principal Professor John Last says: "NUCA's commitment to delivering a learning experience which incorporates our strong links to creative industry companies to prepare our students for work as a graduate is one of many factors to have stood us in good stead. We are delighted that the efforts of our staff and student community are being recognised nationally, not only through The Guardian's league tables but also in increased applications from across the country and also from international candidates."

The Specialist Institutions League Table is calculated through a combination of graduate career prospects, National Student Survey results, value added to academic achievement, student/staff ratio, spend per student and application grade requirements. NUCA rose five places in the table to move above all other universities specialising in arts education in England.

And over soon

And the project is almost over. Deadline tomorrow. It's mixed feelings. I'm rather happy that I can relax for a day, not thinking of weapons or patterns, but I also wish I had more time to develop this. I know that this project has got potential to be developed further. But I know myself, I get a bit tired of a project if I work with it for to long. Tired might be the wrong word- I just want to start something new and look at something different after a while. It's hard to start again with an old project. It's gone be interesting next year.

Experiment

Deadline tomorrow and I have only got a few more things to do.

This last film and experiment is based on the Milgram Experiment.

Many thanks to you who participated.

On the day...Can't feel it

It's 4 days left- then deadline. I've been working a bit TO hard these last few days. But managed to organise everything well, and made a fabric, a dress, a neckless and took the fashion shoot with the lovely Sophie, edit the photos, all in less then 48 hours. I'm tired now, but still got some inspiration and more energi to make the last few things that I want to do before sunday evening. The thing is that I cant feel my body anymore.

Playing around

Prints on paper and playing around with colours

Med lika förutsättningar?

with equal opportunities

Been busy today, 1 week to go. Made a big abstract, 1 minute per object, with my left hand drawing. 2,5 m long fabric with blue paint.

Weapons with a childish touch.

Working with contrasts- weapons vs. the innocent.

Have we all got the same opportunities in life?

Pattern (First)

These are some of my pattern design for my Weapon project. Because I really don't know how to use Illustrator or Photoshope I decided to just cut out the design by hand and play around with the pattern in a very traditionell way.

Nap on the bus back to Norwich

We had a nice day in Braintree, Essex today. It was a Textile trip with my Textile people. It was a 2 hour long journey from Norwich and we got pretty tired on the way back home. But it was a great day and we went back home with a lot of inspiration. Specially from looking in old sketchbooks and old fading drawings. Colour, colour, colour!!

Drawing cells

Stand still
