Welcome new members

It is so good to hear from you again. We are beginning to think of the great Exhibition at Canterbury all over again. Tell us about all your amazing adventures post the MA/MFA experience. The students this year are very very good, well at least they appear so. We will know soon enough how they deliver.

Here I am again, thinking. In the past few days, I have been returning to the roots of what I feel confident and comfortable doing in my practice despite its not-so-solid links to what I claim to be presenting as a part of my dissertation and project.

The reason I share here, is that I wonder if anyone has anything to say as a student or former student at the University College or KIAD, about how it (the uni college or the course) pushed, pulled and branding ironed your practice, and agonized your minds - made you wish you were doing anything but - it in order to discover that this is what you'll need to be doing.

I realize this all sounds perhaps a bit fantastical and perhaps sloppily poetic, but this is an exercise, it isn't to seek proper answers so it might as well be fun.

anyone?
