'The previous two years on FINE ART FOR DESIGN have provided me with the most drastic learning curve of my educational life. My work, and the person I was, two years ago, feel a world away from the work I am making today and the person I have become as a result of this learning process. I think it’s close to inconceivable that prior to this course, there was no emphasis on me being at the root of my own practice, with my interests and strengths steering it in its journey of development. It was the realisation of this, and being taught to question my own thoughts and opinions, that have made this experience no t only enjoyable (which still feels like a novelty), but liberating too at the sheer thought of what I could achieve with my work.'
'In the second year, TIME MANAGEMENT was an issue, somewhat. Although I frequently meet deadlines, it can take me some time to get fully engaged in a project, spending too much time researching and PROCRASTINATING, to a degree. I aim to minimise this in the third year. I would like to really ‘push’ myself to create exciting new work, using working methods I have established throughout the past two years, but maintaining a playfulness to rid the work of any bland predictability. I think that continuing where I ended in second year, illustrating on found garments and shoes, is an appropriate choice for starting my third year practice as it was not only ENJOYABLE, but PLAYFUL and it allows the character of the object to provide me subject matter to make illustrations about.'
