Today we finally received some photographs of the Chinese Students work, this has been a good experience but a tough project communicating with them but now exciting to finally see their work! Their work had been very different to anything that it made at UCA I think, and I speak for everyone that it could give us all some ideas as we move into our third years...

Maker:Dai Ling










NO. 1 Chopsticks
Objects
2 x2 x 0.6 inches (each),
resin 9.5 x0.4 inches (each);
wood chopsticks, sterlingsilver,
resin, found objects





Inspiration: we were born to be separate ones, just connected by some people, or some things. Pursuing wealth, competing against others, growing up together, and interacting on each other... At last, only memories left.

2.6 x1.8 x 0.7 inches
Bamboo chopsticks, fine silver, copper

Inspiration:Man works like a clockwork, driven by too much things: the old ideas, judging eyes from the others, the expectations of the elder generation. But if there is no right to choose, we are just "A Clockwork Orange" .

A Few Close Ups!

Can't believe it's all over after so many weeks of planning - it's been totally exhausting but amazing fun and a great experience to put on our first Exhibtion.  St. Andrew's was a fabulous venue and the incumbent and church members incredibly welcoming and encouraging.

Inspite of the torrential wind, rain and hail on our Exhibition Day, we had a steady stream of visitors - who were drawn in by our colourful balloons outside the church and the lure of coffee and cakes along with (I'm not biased) a rich diversity of  Natural Expressions!

Here are a few close up shots of some of the work. . .

Josh's beautiful blown glass. . .



Stacey's 'Bubbles'

Fiona's 'Water Baskets'. .  . .

Thank you to everyone who came, for the encouragement and wonderful comments - it's a shame it's all over. . . when's the next one??!!
