Not one of the great Octobers, difficult to enjoy the colours with all the rain, but still beautiful. I took advantage of the long weekend by watching the complete series of K Clark's Civisilation. This was made by the BBC in the late 60s, an absolute must for all Art students, it is incredible. Also I did a little research for my essay on Courbet, have not written anything yet. Managed to make two pieces relating to my spinning top theme where I wove material into wood, sounds more dramatic than it is, but still an idea with possibilities. It was suggested I should shoot a video so that is reeling around in my head. One idea would involve stop motion which is a very painstaking way of working, nothing like a bit of pain to shine the soul.
