Hand-in of our assessment went smoothly. It was interesting to see the differences in what was submitted, as we are all studying our own subjects with individual styles. My display space (half a table) had a lot of books - sketchbooks (hand made and ready bound); exhibition book; various objects with analysis on luggage labels (sweater, soap, embroidery sampler, knitting pattern book); blog printout; contextual review; proposal.
Depending on students' focus, other people submitted 2/3 folders of carefully filed written work and nothing else; books documenting different styles of analysis and lengths of paper with landscape artwork experiments; several files of thoughts and extensive architects drawings; and some textile rubbings samples, and files of documentation.
In high good humour, I bounced down the stairs and popped in to see my tutor, Linden. I happened to say that I had a new idea to work up (while I was on my flight to New York next week). I said I had been thinking about Mrs Konieczny and how she liked cryptic crosswords. So I had decided to identify words about her, find a grid, fit the words into it, and set cryptic crossword clues to it. Then using blackwork, work it onto a sampler. Linden thought this was a great idea and that it would enable conversations.
Fitting the words to the grid will be the most difficult, but if I can have some words that can be adapted it will help - e.g. she was a nurse, but I could use nurse, nursing, nursed, depending what fits best in the grid.
Suitable words:
Nurse, care, Cambridge, Seven Kings, Walthamstow, Hoe Street, Chemist, Hobbs, conversation, church, Miriam, Anita, Chester, Leeds, appendicitis, hypotenuse, library, Esperanto, married,
I can get a cross word grid from the internet. Let's have a bash at getting them to fit.
