Paris

As a celebration for the end of the year and finishing all of our work, two of my friends and me decided to save up and go to Paris! It was very sunny and humid, we packed so much it as we were only there for two nights, we went up the Eiffel Tower, on a boat trip, to the Louvre, theres so much to look at you could spend days there... we met some real characters on the way it was a really fun adventure :)

A really sunny day :)

Exhibition

The final series of 66 Postcards made from all of the collected information in my journals, all about memory and language, why people are the way they are, what triggers memories, sayings, stories, photographs, drawings. I came across alot of handwritten postcards, letters and notes, with messages of celebration and stories. I really like this way of communication and hope it is kept up even with all of this technology! I really enjoyed this project it provided many comical stories and a chance to reminisce, these ideas and project could continue forever :)

Postcards

I have made a series of postcards using memories, photographs, drawings, language, observations etc. It involved a lot of tea stained paper and messiness, the best way to work I think... this is one of my favourites of my parents aged 24/25, I thought the photo was so sweet!

Charityshops

I found this really cool camera in a charityshop for £7 yesterday, the guy had tested it so it works and everything okay... I have loaded some black and white film in it (whether I have done this right I do not know, only the results of the photographs will tell!) and the camera made some crazy noises, so this first roll will just be a play around, I'm excited to see how they come out!

I also came across a book by Rob Penn called 'The sky is falling on our heads' which I am looking forward to reading.







The book cover is illustrated by Sara Fanelli who has done some really cool artwork for various things. I recieved her book 'Sometimes I think Sometimes I am' for Christmas, it is really cool. I never tire of looking through it, a good present indeed!
