Meta Incognita ready to ship to Mary Black Gallery

Last Sunday afternoon some members of the fibre arts group, Articulation, got together to package up part of our Meta Incognita exhibition. After spending the summer in the Banff Centre over the summer festival, the body of work is now ready to ship to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where it will hang in the Mary Black Gallery. If you are in Halifax between February 22 (the opening) & April 8th, 2008 do go into the historic building and enjoy our art work. Some of the artists have made new works just for this exhibition.

What is my Passion?

As I approach the next semester & last module of Level 1 of the BA(Hons) Stitched Textiles programme that I have immersed myself in, I am being asked to think about what I want to be when I grow up, oops, I mean- when I graduate. My level 2 tutor is making me think about the combination of modules I want to take and I am finding this thinking is hard work.
It has made me think about all of those young people I repeatedly ask what they want to do with their lives. I must now publicly apologise to all of them for asking, so casually, such a hard question just to satisfy my curiosity.
I have read that when adults ask younger people 'what do you want to be when you grow up', what they are really looking for is ideas for themselves.
What I really mean when I ask the question is, 'what is your passion?' 'Have you found your passion yet?' and that is what my tutor is now asking me to identify.
