'ALL ABOUT ME' WENDY RAMSHAW AND DAVID WATKINS
Was an incredibly packed lecture theatre, was very curious to see this as I only had a vague recognition of the names but could not remember the works associated with them. Wendy and David had a wonderful dynamic as they bounced stories and ideas off one another whilst recollecting there vast careers and history. Must say got a little frustrated with the slides, as there was a time limit for the story per slide, but as any one would, recollecting their past, things got carried away and we either had to flick back a slide as Wendy had not finished talking or stop half way through the story as to not run over time. Needless to say we didn't finish on time...
Was amazing to see the portfolio's of these two Jewellery and Object makers, and to hear the concepts behind them and how the state of the society and culture of the time played significant roles in these.
My biggest achievement for today would be to realise my weird obsession with the street lamps over here, perhaps an inspiration for the project attached to this trip. I will share some of their loveliness with you all....
