Oh Manchester, how i love to walk your streets in the summer by myself and fool everyone around me that I still live there. Alas, i do not, but it is lovely that it still feels like home.
A trip to the Manchester Gallery after Graduation showed me that the pesky little be-masked creatures that formulate the basis of my entire degree project had fallen down. Poor things, so armed with my portfolio and glue-gun i headed for a day out. Figures re-glued, I went to find the John Rylands Library. And what a feast for my eyes! and sore shoulders (heavy bags). A beautiful gothic building plonked in the middle of boring any-city anywhere architecture. It really is a stunning building, it is like a slice of pure history just sat there.
So in i went to get inspired, i sat in the historic reading room with my little pad and sketchbook and starting doodling. A few ideas had been floated around so i set to them with my own brain leading the way. After a meet with Ellie, the founder of the theatre company we have finalised some ideas for how i can contribute to the visual art and set design of the show and i most certainly am a wee bit excited.
Eeek. 28th Aug ain't far away. I'll be a busy bee! Now lets just not procrastinate guys... I am not allowed to clean the bathroom.
