Reflections

At long last here I am catching up with my blog, and the final major project almost has lift-off.The last two weeks has been difficult with illness clouding my head and stalling progress, but as I look back, progress has been made.The title of the project is Exquisite Poverty: Fragments, and it was inspired initially from research from my dissertation and the resulting knowledge of the harsh circumstances experienced by 19th century needleworkers.It was an image of an intricately embroidered collar with the printed stamp mark declaring "ten days allowed" that demanded somehow a creative response.
