More On Silence


Who walks in the silence
Who speaks to me in the silence
Who knows the silence
What is the silence within
What comes out of the silence
What is to be seen in the silence

Other Reality


What do I sense in the silence
Where does the silence take me
When do I seek silence
When is silence not silence
What does silence feel like
What is the significance of silence
Why do I search for silence
Why do I need silence
Why does silence exist
Does silence exist
Have I always sought out silence
Is my mind ever silent
Am I alone in silence

Final Major Project Grade

I'm trying really hard not to be disappointed about my FMP Grade, but I am feeling disheartened. I worked really hard for five months on this project, and I don't feel that my grade reflects the effort and work I put into it.

My Grade was three percent short of a First.

I am trying to remind myself that I have achieved so much in the past two years. I have put everything into my studies and I am passionate about my art work.

Its all subjective!

I have no more to say.

Summer Show Choice

It has been a difficult decision to choose one image for the  Summer Show at Plymouth College of Art.  I want it to be the right image. Every assignment that I have handed in, over the past two years of the Foundation Degree, have been the wrong choices! I was always told in my Feedback that I had better images in my journal that I should have used as my final images. I feel more pressure this time, the image is going to be exhibited with everyone else's and it has to look professional and photographically excellent. Can I achieve this ..... be positive ..... yes!


I have decided, since it is the end of our two years Foundation Degree, that I will have my image printed at theprintspace at a greater expense than if I had it printed at college. I am having it printed to
30ins x 30ins, Mounted on 3mm Foamex, and with an Acrylic Satin Seal. I hope I've chosen wisely.


All day procrastinating and thinking ... I made my final choice this evening. I felt that the whole story can be told in this image. The story  of ..... chasing the light, the spirit of home, finding something that was lost, being still, listening to the silence, the concepts of duality/opposites, and my intuitive response to memory and seemingly empty but ambiguously mysterious spaces.


This is the culmination of five months work, a book at .http://www.blurb.co.uk/books/3255189....and the image I have chosen for the Summer Show.
