I am meeting Emma from Nexus on Tuesday 5th of October. Lani, Laurence and I have requested in exhibit in January but I will be back with you about the details after our meeting. If you would like to come with me to this I would be really grateful. Sorry to hear alot of you are not going to exhibit. Please let me know those of you who are still interested.
So far I know Laurence, Lani, Pearl, Jason and Me are up for exhibiting and Bella, Amy and Bethan have withdrawn. Ruth and Jason please could you get back to me?
Please can you get in touch asap to tell me when you are back in the city because Nexus want to meet me to discuss exhibiting. Obviously we need a meeting first (and I want to see all your beautiful faces!!) So please email me or call me x x

HI GUYS.
Ive finished one of my 5 dodo's, this project has taken way longer than i expected! also ive just realised the video i did, didn't involve a passport photo, so i need to do that again or edit it in or something? i dont know, im completely crap at video.
hope everyones having a nice summer, look forward to seeing what's going on with everyones project!
Just finished my film, but although my idea I think works, the only camera I managed to film it on is proper grainy and not in a good way, and doesn't show it off. I wouldn't really want to exhibit it really as it is.
I agree with Lani and Amy loads thinking about it about taking this slowly. I really want the work we exhibit to be the best it can be at our level of learning and I think my work is still very much in the experimental stages for this project.
I will bring what I have done so far to the meeting but I think we might need to have a big talk about what we want and timescales and stuff.
Hope your projects are going well
LOTS of love Freyia

I've been filming my consequences video over the last couple of days guys. All I can say is that I owe my little brother a big favour...How is everyone else doing? xx
hellooo. sorry i havn't written for a while, been in newcastle, and then caught sickness bug from my lovely brothers. yum. vomit aplenty on my end and no work done :(.
will be making film (still havn't done it, naughty naughty) and doing further test shots asap. i will put up some previews of the shots. i would like lots of opinions coz im getting a bit stuck atm with it coz nothing is turning out how i planned. i think i want to do a few photos and scatter hang them? what do you think?
also, i agree about the project moving fast, the only thing is i think maybe leaving woodend is passing up quite a good chance to get our work out there. if you think about it it is the end of october, which gives us a while, then again otherwise we have longer to complete projects....i guess its up to everyone. also, as the exhibition was my idea in the first place, i would like to actually see the end result, and if the first exhibition was on whilst im in budapest i won't be able to. not trying to say i've done all the work for this or anything as lani and jason have been pretty damn amazing, but yeh that's just my thoughts.
I found a dead fox a couple of days ago, and only had my video camera on me and not my actual camera! It had been hit by a car. I have seen so many more dead foxes this summer, as normally there aren't as many, but due to the fox hunting ban, we're a little bit over run with them now here. Anyway, this may seem random, but does anyone think it would be too much to include this imagery in some of my work? It is quite graphic and brutal, so i understand if people wouldn't like it, but my drawings themselves are going to be quite graphic too it seems. Anyway i just thought i'd ask what people think, as i'd really like to use it, but i know others might not want me too? I wont upload it here anyway. But its quite reminiscent of Sam Taylor Wood's work, in particular "A Little Death". If anyone hasn't seen it and wants to watch it, here it is:
I really want to work around the theme of death for sure, as to me its the gravest consequence of life, and one we all in turn will face. Anyway, if people would let me know whether they think this is too much or not, i'd appreciate it :)
