Time out from essay writing
I did a drawing yesterday for a girl on fashion, it's going to be screen printed onto a scarf.
I call it: Shattered. Good night.

Narrative
I'm using knitting as a metaphor for telling a story, and dropping stitches for telling lies that make the story not add up.. then I might have a snake coming through the holes, and pulling the threads to expose the lies and ruin the knit and therefore the reputation of the storyteller as it all becomes a shambles. Here is my first sketch and a scan of my knitted shamble:

A Visual Explanation of Language
I have explored what language means to us, asking others to do the same and kept video and audio records of my research.
I don't think that there is a conclusion, its an exploration, there is no answer to what language is, and if there is i am not qualified to judge it, but i wanted to explore how we use language in our different relationships, and how it benefits our life and how communication changed over time.
I'm happy with what I have produced, it's a little rough around the edges but it directly references my research, this is all first hand material.
