OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

Thoughts and layering
I've just discovered a new word:lagenlook....meaning layered ( which I love), and have also found a website selling really unique clothing selling the "look".They deal with very creative designers and this has got me thinking a bit more about the future....not that I have stopped thinking about it over this last year, as the end of the degree is fast approaching. I am excited about it though, and also about my final major project...so much of this is still inside my head...the beginning of a new project is almost as painfull as giving birth...you know it's there and are looking forward to the result, but it's painfull giving birth...bringing it to life...here is the lagenlook link: www. idaretobe.com

More PDP work
Another usefull site, which contains self reflective material and advice for artists is:The Artist's Development Toolkit, by Linda Ball. It is an online series of self evaluation modules, which I think may be helpful for direction within the visual arts. I have, so far only completed the introduction, but am going to go further with it.
