Day 1 ?!

SILENCE, a deathly silence befalls the waiting room as we await the late arrivers! Thankfully it is broken by Vicky, who will be our supervisor for the next two weeks. She takes us to the 3rd floor studio, a blanket of white. Still one down. Still we wonder. 30 minutes and a safety talk later, enlightened we are of the next two weeks.

Click click tick tick. My the mind wonders. 8 of us now. 8. We are given a tour of the dreaded mine field that is a Mac. The talk is long yet intriguing to us all. We are yet again enlightened to the concept of it all. A 2 week course of creation, imagination and thought.
All i had was Banoffee pie. Over and over again. Banoffee, banoffee, banoffee. But then inspiration. A shining light. It falls from the sky and in-beds itself in my cranium. There it plants its roots firm and deep. Growing, changing, evolving. Shoes with Shoes. Shoes on buildings. Shoes on ceilings. I can’t control the swelling. It’s beating its way down my neck and through my teeth.

I ask Lucy. What about shoes stuck to the wall of the cheese grater car park. The one in the town centre. The big silver one. I never quite got that building, i mean it’s different but something about it screams it’s trying too hard. Too hard to be seen. But something like a pair of Converse stuck to the wall could make it seem [or should i say scene] good ;)

Today was the first day of what is going to be a great two weeks of work experience. Already we've heard of a man who uses ELEPHANT POO! in his work from a talk with artist Lesley Guy and the mysterious art of face hiding. What a day ! What a week!? Hopefully!? Most definitely !
