Crit Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we are heading to rural Suffolk for a crit in Sara's studio, we will be joined by our Project Curator, Caroline Wright. Although we have attended many meetings, visited the Fort several times as a group and exchanged more emails than i care to remember - tomorrow feels as though it is going to be different. It will be the first time, in a formal setting where we each explain and critique our ideas for works to be included in the show, and it is the first time that we will meet with Caroline as a group.
I think that this will mark a shift in our progression towards the show, meaning that we can become more focused on "the work" instead of all the other things that take up so much time.

Felixstowe Visit, Sunday 9th May

Tim, Helen, Sara, Lesley and Sam met in Ruby's cafe in Felixstowe for tea, cake and cheesy chips. Cheesy chips are a "must have" at Ruby's. We discussed some ideas for works and the format for our crit with Caroline on 23rd May.

We said goodbye to Lesley and the rest of us went onto the Fort. Bought souvenirs in the gift shop and briefly toured some of the rooms before spending time in the exhibition space. One of the lights in the space was swaying quite a lot, this was unnerving.

Tim, Helen and Sam met Mary who co-ordinates "Art on the Prom" in Felixstowe
to discuss our involvement in the scheme including publicity and the pos
sibility of running small events or interactive activities - this was very positive.

Lots of ideas, tired now from the fresh sea air.
Sam.
