When the boxes of my work came back I wasn't even sure I wanted to open them but when I did it was quite a surprise. There was more work than I remembered for one thing and some of it looked better than I remembered it - I certainly won't be setting the art world on fire any time soon but for a first module it was okay and definitely some things to build on.
Anyway, it was rather a now or never thing as the maximum time for the degree is 12 years (yes, I know that seems like a long time but it's taken me over 2 years to finish one module and there are at least 8 to do!).
So, onto Mixed Media it is, with a firm promise to myself to get stuck in early, study regularly and sketch instead of playing Candy Crush (you can stop laughing now, I am determined).
As my first assignment is about folding, manipulating and distorting materials, I thought I'd get started with this amazing exhibition by the International Arts and Artists - Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami.....scroll through the images and prepare to be amazed....
And the documentary on the artists in the exhibition is fascinating....
