I have been rather stressed over the last few weeks, the combo of my uni work, prepping the exhibition and getting a chest infection has resulted in me not doing as much as I’d like. I managed to keep some of it going but my final project was falling miserably behind. It all came to …

Subversion / creativity project I have had some time this week for my uni work! (but perhaps not as much as I’d like) – I have done a great deal more research about the origins of creativity – where does that human streak come from? I have been reading about how the Greeks thought it …

All this unaccustomed hard work has taken it’s toll and I have a cold and a cough. I wouldn’t mind if I could get a decent nights sleep, being up half the night just perpetuates things! It all means that I haven’t got half as much done over the last week that I planned, but …

Week 3 at Uni has been a roller coaster. Below I will detail some of the work I have been doing, but the week was notable in a couple of ways. My head is going off in all directions, I have so much reading I want to do, a pile of books from the library, …
