It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
While it isn’t beginning to look like Christmas in London (plenty of good old English rain again this week), in my mind and in my heart I am — for the first time this year — truly feeling ready for a visit back home. But first, I have an MA to complete!

Two weeks
…from today, I will be (frantically, most likely) setting up for my final MA exhibition. If you happen to be in London, come by The Truman Brewery T2 December 4th to 6th.

You’ll Go Far
Thoughts of visiting the homeland for the holidays have brought up many visions and memories of Canadian landscapes, friends and family.

Looking for a clearing
It’s been quite stereotypically rainy and grey in London this past week, and while it’s great on the one hand — because you’re forced to stay indoors and get things done — it’s not so great on the other — because you just want to cuddle up in blankets, have naps, sip hot chocolate, and watch movies (ie. in my case, not rush to the finish line of completing an MA in four weeks!).
But, even though it’s daunting to think of all the work ahead, it’s also amazing to be able to see the end of — and overall big picture of — this MA journey more clearly than ever before. The rhythm of the past eleven months has become quite familiar and comforting, which in itself probably a sigh that it’s time to embrace a little change of pace…
