The `DREAM SYNDROME` effect!

 I cant tell you how the time has increased its momentum-  you know the feeling when you have a dream when it `s a necessity to run, and you cant feel the movement in your legs?  thats how it feels with work right now!  two steps forwards and three steps back.
However, I am staying positive as the other one doesnt help - it just seems that there is so much to do to complete.  Analysing it though, it is just small parts of each item that needs some TLC.  The most trouble is the filming of my performance.  I tried again on Friday with help from Barrie, but the noise encroachment from the class next door was too much for the recording.  Sharon Parkinson from Media at Main site has given me a name of an enthusiastic person - unfortunately - I have had no luck with contact yet, but will try again tomorrow.

The Dissertation plan has been turned in via `Turnitin` so thats one off the list.  It may be presentations next week but I think I`m prepared for that.  The Tutors will have so much reading to do with all this for every student! 

I have decided to make my feet - which are only a possibility for the installation, from clay as the Mod roc one was too small with the skim of plaster for the shoes I bought, we`ll see what they turn out like - or if I will just use the shoes.

The Freud Museum has an exhibition of Louise Bourgeois on there until 27th May, so I have booked a trip to London on the 17th with an overnight stay at the Royal National, to see "The Return of the Repressed", and hopefully get a couple more galleries in as well.  £92.00 for return train and stay didnt seem too bad.   The above is one of my favourite sculptures from Bourgeois.  I am hoping to use Bourgeois within my Dissertation next year - thats if I dont change my mind, or indeed if something more appropriate shakes my roots.  Anselm Kiefer is keeping me occupied with his interpretations of Paul Celan`s poetry, especially `Death Fugue`.  The cultural guilt of the entire nation seems to be displayed in his work.  The text within his work also intrigues me - just so simply shown, but ceaslessly haunting.

I will take some time now to perfect my second foot - thats the right one!
Hoping the weather improves everywhere soon! Caio e state bene.
