Here's to you, Mr Robinson

So, I've almost completed my first week of the sculpture part of my course. To be perfectly honest, it's significantly harder than I thought it would be. Our brief is 'Making Connections'
We are not meant to be
• biographical
• narrative
• conceptual
• surrealist
• political
what does that leave you with? Literally just putting a pile of old junk together. But it is definitely harder than it looks. Anything else is apparently MUCH to complex for us lowly first years.

Anyway, my tutor for sculpture is my favourite I've had this year. His name is Peter Robinson, and he has awesome Cruella de Vil look going on with his hair. He likes me 'cos I talk.

This is true of most teachers. Except perhaps Ms Feist. But she is a bitter feminist who I purposly tried to piss off so I won't worry too much about that. 

Peter Robinson is actually also an awesome artist, he's kind of a big deal. Recently he's been making these chains out of polystyrene

like so. 

The stuff I am doing at the moment involves gladwrap and rusty metal, with the occasional spiderweb. I'll be sure to keep you updated
