On Jelly

It's been a few months since I published this blog.  I currently contribute content for the University of the Arts blog for freshers, like last year, which you can see here.  I also write chronic to-do lists, which are too embarrassing to share online.  Besides that, I don't write much.

I had just been casting my eye over some old entries and found a paragraph a few blogs back, written in October 2012 during my first term at Central Saint Martins.

"Last Friday I had my first lecture.  Despite Lewis' best efforts of nudging me every time my head drooped, I slipped into a dream state.  I could hear the lecturer talking about an artist, but in my head he was showing us a lumpy jar of jelly.  In this state I thought "God, how cool, a serious artist making jelly as her work."  I may now have to pursue it as a concept, since the artist he was talking about did something far more mundane than jelly sculptures.  Shame - I would have stayed awake for that."

Now, I dream odd things too often to have remembered that.
But here's the first work I 'exhibited' that term:




Bizzarre.
