23/06/2010 Contd.
The degree show went well, it was a lovely day which made it all the better. A good crowd showed up for the occasion. Jennifer Lynch won the Limerick Arts Society medal; I was delighted for her. Mary Hickey won two awards also, Eoin McCormack won a painting prize, and Maurice Reidy got selected for an exhibition down in Cork. Fair play to them all. All that remains now is to do the invigilating on Friday, and then take our things home. Four years of art college over; it has been a wonderful experience, and I have met some really nice people, some of whom I would consider good friends now.
The tutors and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Still did not hear if I have been accepted for the M.A. programme. Did not get my results on line either; will wait until postman Pat (his real name) brings them. I have heard that my degree show work is to be reviewed in Circa magazine, so that is a good break to get.
Must mention also that I am PRO for the 'Art in the Making' group see: http://artinthemaking.weebly.com Also my work can be seen at http://richardjwilliams.wordpress.com Have also got a weebly, but don't expect to be using it at this stage anyway. Nevertheless, the address is: http://richardjwilliams.weebly.com Does this mean that I can now say Richard J. Williams artist now? or do I have to wait until I officially get my Hons Degree? hmmmmmm........food for thought!!! will write a few more words to this on Friday, but after that ...... I am not too sure; perhaps if I get accepted for the M.A. programme I may continue to use this. Then again, maybe it would be wise to continue to use this blog as it has quite a sizeable content now, and I have noticed that it has come up a few times when I have been looking for things; it has even got top of the page listing in some items, we'll see.

Saturday today. Went to get a couple of throws for the couch, also hung up my curtain. Taped up the electric cables to wood so as to tidy it up a bit. Had a trial run of the video; a couple of minor problems, because the projector has to be slanted down, the shape of the projected image is not quite square, not much, but enough to be noticed, I am not really sure if this can be overcome, I will have to see Richard about this on Monday. Also, I am going to have to find a better way of securing the projector; it is precariously balanced on some timber.

Got the diary printed; it looks very good. Down loaded the video footage from yesterday. Matt showed me an easy way to get rid of unwanted noises from video footage. I got an old mac off him for the assessments. Damien managed to free up the memory on my memory stick. Went to a pharmacy to get my photos developed but there was a problem and I was asked to call back in half an hour, so went across to Whelans and they got them done straight away (86 euro).

I got a few more photographs of my small mirror box for research purposes. Today I have been preparing this practice diary for publication; it would be more professional to have it presented in book form. I have enjoyed keeping this practice diary; even today whilst sorting it out for publication, it was good to look back at the process's and approaches that I have employed over the past couple of years. I am certain it will be a good source of reference for years to come.
