Final day at Norwich University of the Arts was cool – a team from The Costume and Textile Association came over to judge a scarf competition that I'd organised. It included a visit to the archive at the Castle to see the awesome Norwich Textile Books. It was a tight deadline but the students did well. Onto screens – V for Vengeance – vampires r us. Fast Charlie – what was Pierce thinking? Pressure Point – lots of angry rowing. Everybody’s talking about Jamie – as ever with a musical I felt that the songs got in the way of a nice story.

boooooooo - behind you – on-no-it-isn’t, oh-yes-it-is – Dick Whittington,The panto at the New Wolsey in Ipswich was truly excellent – alternative words to well known songs, a new type of set and the addition of an evil character alongside the caustic dame – what more do you want! Meanwhile creating new 3D printed structures but have been sidetracked by the imagery in the software.

Working on a new strand of work – in a very meta way I’m projecting films of my hands manipulating the articulated structures onto 3D structures that have been developed from the initial investigation. Some breathing in – London - October Gallery - El Anatsui. Brunei Gallery at SOAS - extraordinary endeavours. British Library - treasures. Barbican Curve - Julianknxx. White Cube - Gormley. Raven Row - Lutz Bacher. Spruth Mangers - Fischli & Weiss. Sadie Coles - Diago Marcon. Vitrine - Luis Enrique Zela-Koort. Hauser and Wirth - Avery Singer. Then we have Bond Street Windows - Channel and Dior. The Gormley show is exceptional, I especially loved the realignment and size of the doorways! Onto screens – The Wolfs Call – the soundtrack is stunning, the foley artists having a ball. Freelance – were all having a ball making this film.
