I have 3 days before I hand in my work. Will I be happy with it as it is? Not really, its doesnt have the flow and the less obvious side to it Its more obvious but at the same time it illuminates a little of what was going on, who was part of the it and thats important as an additional layer. It also uses other peoples art work to express that.. someone elses music and photographs, which add to it massively. I still ahve a desire for newspapers but cant seem to access those BL as I had hoped for I could try again but I do need to focus and make best of what I have than keep adding, at some point there has to be a point to go thats it, for now.


I try and add by accessing from here again and then go to the library for assistance - I couldnt get into anything from they sent me a as a link I needed I was given this week. What I've further realised and experienced is how much research, archive material costs... photocopies of pages at Newspaper library and having to wait 5 days for some things to be delivered etc. I need to add that to my write up in some way- I could also email felicity etc for photographs? Or bug the SP lot more for the photos and the old copies of the paper as I do have some time to pick some dates and do copies. I need to be specific - and forethink what I might need rather than ramble through some of it. I did pick dates when I was at the BL and that really helped - I need to write up those dates so that I don't loose that info too. A question I have to keep asking, what will this bring to the production of this project and my learning and development. They are different things and this is the practical piece of the project so that is the most important but proces, who is making, why and how will it be distributed have been, are also key.

The deadline is drawing near but i seem to be unreal around it... I am not awake thinking about it but perhaps the huge energy and space I gave to the 2 weeks work in progress installation and studio development took a lot out of me but also brought this project out to the academic space I am within, slightly more focused than last time. It meant I could show DS the work in the gallery and meet with SUZ muna, get access and also get to see her work directly and consider other projects and works.. The mug project is but one...

I want oer 50% and really I want over 60%! but I need to make sure that happens by what I write so they can see the relationship between the theory and practice, rather than randomly, and what is influencing each part of those and why this in the context of the MA for part of my life but is not jsut for academic use. What I got from being here - kit, skilled technicians, badly used and engaged with at the best but still, (on my part mainly - never know what I can ask or what I should be able to ask and who and for how long and for what?)

I want to show an alternative, and that you and I are part of that alternative not enough, or something I want to do, is show the the shocking events of the past but they are important as part of a process to express patterns of behaviour, by whom and for what purpose and why indeed, I need to do the work that I am doing - they are part of an ideology and ideolgical processes.

- Thinking - Ask bfi if they will have 'socialism on trial' ?
- Ask BL for archive of paper? and maybe LCC archive to get it accessible?
- Consider where a project on the 47 could be housed in the curriculum?

Context of that period - Torys, Miners, wapping, BT sold off, GLC and councils, 1982 laws - So much happened.
