Ok chaps, it's a new year and I will be concentrating on life, as a productive possibly employed member of society. Looking into my career options. Basically all things my future is related to.
It is going to be fun, I will have to produce an eye catching C.V.. It has to be tailored to my future prospective employment hopes and dreams.
where to start will be the first big obstacle. when you consider once I finish this degree I will have 10 years left of productive employment life or may be I will be like Louise Bourgeois and work right up till I leave this big blue planet.
Oh and by the way , there is a fabulous exhibition of Louise Bourgeois work at MIMA.

This piece is called CELL XIV. It is a fabric construction shown inside a cage of steel, glass , wood and metal.
As one of my tasks is to make a self portrait. in fabric, I found this particularly interesting.
The heads seem to be in agony , screaming. On close inspection the stitching is left raised it could be mimicking scarification. The open mouth tells of the pain and red fabric could indicate the anger or rage of the person.
It is interesting to note that Tracey Emin has collaborated with Bourgeois on a number of drawings.
