The Absentee Posts!

Hello there!

It's been a very, very busy year for me! Third year is done and dusted. I graduated in July, and have been taking the last few months off to do a bit of travelling (I say travelling, I went around France...), a bit of catching up with people (still ought to see my grandparents...) and starting to embark on ....the life outside of University!

The most exciting thing that I've done this summer is probably being chosen along with two of my friends to create an art installation for End of the Road Festival. Despite it being a bit of a shock to get picked, and a massive haphazard, last minute rush, I'm incredibly proud of what we made.

The idea was to produce a woven map of the festival, which people could add to, putting themselves in the map and marking their memories in the weave. This is it:

It was called 'you are here...'

(notice the appliqued cover, hand done by moi...) 


 The Comedy Stage, the Cinema, The Woods Stage, A Cuckoo and a Peacock...
 A close up of the peacock, a lovely little girl called Eliza helped me make this....
 The Big Top Tent
 The working weave that passers-by could add too
 

Unfortunately I had a lot more photos on my Manual SLR camera, but a can of beer exploded in my bag whilst it was in there, and until I see if it can be fixed, the film is stuck in it.

I have my fingers crossed! x
