Summer...'10

So over summer we were asked as part of a brief to go and visit at least one of three choices...an exhibition at the bluecoat display centre, ADA or the third years degree show! Unfortunately i was unavailable to visit the ADA and degree show so i trooped to Liverpool to see the exhibition which was to do with typography and jewellery. Embarassingly, I went to the desk to ask whereabouts the exhibition was, to be pointed to the end of the room which appeared more to be a shop! I loved the pieces that were on show. Beautiful silver lines of type over old letters and found pieces...However I felt they were slightly overshadowed by the rest of the items that were on display and nothing really popped out at me.

I have a sister who lives in London so I thought i would use her for a weekend of gallery visiting and sightseeing. Took my camera with me and low and behold you arent allowed to take flaming photos in some places! Luckily as I was walking over a bridge near the Southwark area...I spotted everyone crowding so naturally I went over to have a nosy...there in the midst of everyone were paintings to me I would expect to have seen in the National Portrait Gallery...not on the floor. It was a young woman who had 2 sets of completed work and one she was working on. I cannot get my head around seeing someone who can draw like and paint like that!!!! So...I took some photos for you lovely people to experience!

Hope you enjoy my photos from London! :)
