research: How do you want to live your life?

I've been in to NUA every day this week printing onto paper, acetate and fabric. 

I've still not found an expression which reflects what I am trying to say.

On Wednesday I went to a live computer linked transmission from New York by John & Julia McIntyre.  Inspiring, reassuring, energising people and wonderful magical textiles which utilise embroidery, crochet and knit. 

I am missing stitch and I'll get back to it.

Group tutorial today which I will miss because I have no work I want to talk about.


One week left before the Christmas break, three weeks break from NUA, then one week before the deadline.  I will spend some time incorporating stitch into my prints - and I am looking forward to that.  Hopefully the added dimension of stitch will provide the breakthrough I am looking for.

Reflecting on my dilemma -   I have been trying to express too many things.  Firstly the invisibility of 'older age' women but also the energy and vibrancy of 'older age' women.  I also wanted to incorporate text into my work whilst avoiding literal expression. I want to feature transparency in the form of pixellation, blurring and disguise.  I know I will get there eventually... and I'd like to think I would find expression before the deadline.
