“That creeping feeling’s starting, like I miss you, though we’re both of us still here.”


trying to get to sleep in uni halls is sometimes the strangest experience, currently listening to my flatmate for the past hour trying to make people punch him.. so while i wait for outside to quieten down i thought id upload these photos i took of graffiti around Leeds last year for one of the university projects i did for BA honours Textile Design (1st year). The project was to look at something we found interesting and then manipulate these images into textured weaves and knits, i really focused on the idea of skin dripping off of the skulls face and the tendons that stretched over the bone and these different layers. i experimented with not only wools, but also mixing pva glue and paint and dripping it thickly onto a shiny surface waiting for it to dry and then peeling it off and weaving it into photos, which worked really well. Unfortunately i left all my projects at Leeds uni when i finished and havent yet managed to go back there, i do miss it and the two best friends i made, quite alot if i think about it and i had such a different experience in Leeds than im having in Coventry that i almost feel scared to go back, the people i shared my first year with there have carried on going into second year while im hear repeating my first year and living a seperate life again..
