Got images of work onto a disc and got them posted off to UU. Also managed to get a draft proposal off to LSAD, so it was a productive day it those terms. Went to see the ceramic exhibition this evening; it was excellent. We have some very talented people in the college, and it is good to be associated with them.

AM spent the time filling out UU application form; finally got it done tonight. Seminar in the afternoon; very interesting, two quite different presentations. We are a very polite group; nobody likes to be too critical of each others work. To be honest though, I am not sure that this is at all helpful; I expect it would be more beneficial if people were critical in our critiques.

Finally finished the Burren proposal and got it sent off today. Katriona has suggested I look at the artist Yayoi Kusama which I did; she seems an interesting character, and her mirror installations are just up my street ! It seems like she has been living in a mental home; Genius/insanity.........artist!!! Did some more editing to the video work.

More of the same today; finished the proposal and I am happy enough with it. Have to upload images now, then I can send it off. Made a start on the LSAD on as well today. Had some premiere pro instruction from Nigel in the afternoon.

A.M. Down in Georges quay working on the MA proposal. P.M. "art in the making" Paul Tarpey gave a talk about his work; it was quite interesting to hear what kind of processes a graduate of N.C.A.D. and visual communications lecturer takes in his work. He was a good communicator, and the work had its merits. Seminar in the afternoon; only one person this week. It was interesting how the student used sections of old "badly taken" photographs as a reference for the paintings.
