Photography this morning, just developing stuff in the dark room, very interesting. I prefer the process to digital, I think the photos are better too.
Health man said they going to install heaters in studio, fair play to him.More research for the essay today, did a bit more to the jigsaw. The down side to the jigsaw is that it looks like that I have got no work done!

Was under this misguided notion that our essay had to be in today, turns out its Wednesday.
Spent the day researching for the essay, it is about the simulacrum in representation. I am very intrigued about the notion of the era of the simulacrum, it is similar in some respects to the matrix. Like the writings of Guy Debord, he could see the matrix for what it is.Did a bit more to the jigsaw. Wrote e mail to the health and safety guy again, about the heating (or lack thereof).

Started writing the essay today, got bogged down with the intricacies of the format, so never really achieved a lot by going in. Did a bit more to the jigsaw.
Hope to make a jigsaw puzzle in ceramic, should be interesting. I am also going to investigate the topic of missing people in Ireland. I can use the metaphor of the missing jigsaw piece of a puzzle. I hope to perhaps get some images of missing people and to make portrait paintings using the reduction method, so as to make the images barely recognisable. I am quite excited about this new direction, it has a lot of potential, and is also a contemporary issue.

Tried to upload a DVD I made in France when on Erasmus but there were complications, I had to get the computer guy in the end but it turns out I will have to compress it, so as to fit it on to blog spot. After many attempts and a lot of man hours,my blog spot can now be finally googled, yippee ! When this sculpture brief is finished, it will be handy to keep this as a web page, to display my work etc. Went to class reps meeting today, it was mentioned to the student union guys that they seemed hard to approach, and that there was a sort of "clique" there, I think they were genuinely surprised that a lot of students felt that way, I am sure they will take that on board. Carrying on with my big brother theme, I have started putting BB images on the screen savers,on the computers in the multi-media place. It will be intriguing to see how far I can take this before someone complains ! Perhaps they won't, we'll see. Had a thought, will see if I can photo shop a jigsaw image of BB, that would be more appropriate to my work.
