I’d sent in the latest versions of Intro/Ch1; Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. 

-      All images need to be 1/3^rdof a page in the text, and a full page in the appendices. High res photos.  All artwork for exhibition needs to be included in appendices.

-      Final submission date for essay 20/9/19.  

-      Chapter 4 – Exhibition needs to be written in anticipation, with a 1 page appendix reflexive piece about it.

Intro

-      In Intro, Manet and art history goes in Appendix.

-      Change 1^stsentence.  This thesis underpins a body of work that explores representations of under-valued women through stitched samplers and drawings.  Explores what women do and how they do it.  Challenging masculine/paternalistic powerbase through practice.  Explain how I do it and how I deliver it.
