Finally had some time to devote to the blog last night, carried on with it today, basically transferring everything from my practice diary on to the blogspot, plus various photos of my studio space/work.
Maurice has covered up my BB photos with masking tape for a laugh, but I think he was really becoming paranoid about all the images, " they're all at my eye level" he said nervously"!
Had ccs tutorial today, he basically told me to read the power point dvd in the library.
Was taking photos of my work again, so as to put them on to my blog, that is where my day has gone!

It is amazing how many people have not even heard of the film 1984, so far Mathilde (french erazmus student) is the only one to have seen it ! Geraldine thought the photos (I have started putting up the BB images around the studio) were of Jenny's dad (saddam Hussain) !
We had video this morning, marian still very put out over the criticism of our video ( we had a tutorial with Katriona, she said our piece was "twee" and boring)so we didn't really get much done, we then had a course board meeting half way through the class.
Had seminar in the afternoon with Aine, it was about photography in painting, it was intriguing, I especially liked the polish artist William Sasnel.

Got a bit of research of the history of jigsaws. Finally got going on the BB project, got multiple images from the photo-copier, cut them into squares.
Printed off images from phone and camera.
Painted the wall in my space where ink had stained it, then watched the paint dry, it was very intriguing.
I am going to innundate the studio with images of the BB character, Why ? It ties in with the jigsaw theme (I will make it fit in somehow!!!). How ? The surveilance of the masses of the day, it is like a jigsaw they are trying to piece together, finding out every scrap of information they can; where are you going, what are you doing, what are you spending your money on etc, etc,etc. What are they trying to do/achieve, are they trying to play god ? Trying to know everything about everyone, and trying to mould their lives accordingly !??? This is all wrapped up under the guise of "democracy", a free society, but is it really intrinsicly any different from say, stalinism, maoism, etc ?......... I think not. Apart from all that, (ranting over now, back to the art !!!) this is getting back to the bombardment of images thing , that I originally started out with. I will see how far I can push this before people start complaining, perhaps it wont bother them at all, we'll see.

Tried blogging last night but deleted it by mistake, never mind, will try to get it going again the weekend.
Was at life drawing today, did fast drawings, using various things; pens of different colours, pastels, inks etc, used different sized papers and sand paper. When I had finished the fast drawings, I dripped ink down the pages, then "swooshed" the ink over the page. The ink started at the head of the drawings.
Printed off some photos in the afternoon.
