Good afternoon all!
My apologies for a lack of posts over the last couple of weeks! It has been incredibly hectic since starting at UCL, I've had a lot to deal with. My diary is filled for this month already with seminars, tutorials and lectures to attend, and I'm not going to lie, I feel incredibly overwhelmed by it all.
However, me being me, I have chosen to avoid getting help and have instead opted to push it all to the back of my head and concentrate on getting work done. We have had our studio spaces for just over a week now and the majority of us are cracking on getting work done, with only 40 people in my year it's been really easy getting to know everyone's faces, and a quarter of us came from the Chelsea Foundation course anyway!
Being in Slade is a really exciting thing, I'm happy to be in a lovely studio space and have the opportunity to make whatever the hell I like, and the tutors are more than happy to talk to us about our work. I am also impressed with their Contemporary Art Lecture programme, we had a lecture by the artist David Batchelor on Wednesday; I felt privileged to listen to such an established artist discuss and share his triumphs and fails with the whole of Slade art school.
Although I'm still trying to cope with everything being thrown at me, I am making the most of everything on offer and perhaps it's just a matter of time until I can feel like I really belong in such a prestigious establishment.
Watch this space.
