1-2-1 Metting 5 With Dr. Wendy McMurdo

These meetings are always productive and fast!  Dr. McMurdo saw progress in my new images, that have resulted in my weeks of experimenting, revising and rethinking.  

She recommended a few other artists to research and also a recent Falmouth conference to watch to help further my work.  We talked about working figuratively and how black and white is a huge jump for me as my previous work is literally typically bursting with color.  

She encouraged that I continue producing work which I was already planning as I don't feel the collection is yet complete (are collections ever 'complete'?) and that I start experimenting printing on different paper and with different scale framing etc.  And also start looking toward a paragraph explaining my work and also the start of my critical review of practice.  

I have to say I am a bit relieved as I have been enthusiastic about how this project is progressing.  It has been a big change and I feel stretched in my skills but I think the results are fruitful.
