A week to go before four intensive days spent in the London studio. The ribbon has been ordered, printed and delivered - all 41 metres of it. Its good to have something tangible to get me started and I'm particularly pleased at the quality of finish - you never know how things will look until you're holding them. The font is perfect and the size will work well whether I incorporate it into felt, weave with it or do something I haven't thought of yet....
Have revisited the work of Mike Keeley http://www.pbs.org/art21/slideshow/popup.php?slide=834 and wonder whether this will inject some new energy into my thinking.
On another note I now have to decide what to drag to London next week. I think I will have to bring my own wool for felting just in case what they have is a bit limited. Also tempted to bring some calico with me. And a memory stick full of really good pre-scanned/ photographed images.
Next practical job is to do a bit of scanning - I want some diary pages and a good record of the spines and covers (including printed cover pattern etc) just in case I decide to do something with that.
I will spend this afternoon doing some critical reading - feel I need a bit more input in terms of the developing philosophies behind my work...I must ensure that this process facilitates some new thinking and ideas in addition to highlighting or reinterpreting what is already there.
So, on to Bourdieu and a bit of reading around Cultural Capital.

- Lecturing in art and design is a lovely job and I dont take it for granted. I am really interested in the quality of what we do here and firmly believe that people who study art at university level have a distinct advantage over those who dont. So I suppose my job is to prove it.
