My space...

It's final major project time. The blog has been empty since November really, showing none of the good stuff from city threads, 12 project or the subject matters project. So now I have decided to start it up again for the very long and very last project. I will post my work, my space and any interesting finds along the way.

The subject: skin diseases and conditions.

Lovely.

Subject Matters...Collections

Pictures of space, showing some of the work in response to visiting the Wellcome Collection and Natural History Museum in London...

As I am silly, I did not charge my camera before the trip, so it died, and I did not get any pictures from the Wellcome Collection but I did do lots of little drawings...
