Working
With Visual Words 9th December
After
having the morning off to go to the doctor's, I got into college with much of
the day already gone. I had to do my best to get as much done as I could before
this Thursday's deadline. This project was important to me. Having dyslexia
myself, and growing up surrounded by people that didn't understand what I was
going through, meant I wanted to finish my installation for my own personal
reasons and not just because it was a set project.
I made a
start on the big book in 3D in the afternoon. With some help I managed to lift
the book onto the table. My first task was to take off all the staples that
were attached to the book and clean the surface before I started painting.
Although I wanted to only have one page, I needed to paint all of the book as
it seemed to be a lot dirtier than I first realised. After finishing the
painting, the college was closing up so I had to go home to do a bit more
research and rest.
On the
way home I thought how normally I don't talk about my dyslexia to many people.
It's a personal subject. Who I want to share it with is very much my choice. It
will be interesting how I work through the group talk about my work.
