The last three years all come down to the next two weeks…
Breaking Through Degree Show 2017 at Plymouth College of Art
The last few weeks at the Painting, Drawing and Printmaking studio at PCA have been crammed with student and student/staff meetings. Last Tuesday was the final day to 'get your stuff out of here' before the de-install properly commenced. It was both frenetic and flustered. But we did it. I had amassed a fair bit of stuff in addition to what you'd expect in a painting, drawing and printmaking studio: noteworthy oddities included an unopened bottle of Fairy liquid, a 5-kilo bag of play sand and half a bottle of vegetable oil...I do not jest.
I shifted out my treasure chest of graduate oils, a hundred paint brushes, a barrel of of Zest-it non-toxic paint thinner and took down my little 'cell' (as my Programme Leader, Dr. Stephen Felminghmam aptly named it)
Friday 19th May was a day of professional practice as we shared our 10-minute presentations with our peers and Stephen Felmingham and Majella Clancy.
Tomorrow, my team, Curation, begin to set out the plan: erect walls, paint walls and start installing our colleagues' works.
Oh, and June the 1st is the hand-in for all work for the degree show. It's going to be a busy week!
