Un petit voyage à Paris

In January, I spent a weekend fulfilling a dream and visiting Paris! It was honestly everything I had hoped for, the architecture was stunning, the galleries were amazing, the food is delicious, the people were delightfully rude. What an absolutely wonderful place. I used the old classic 'it will give me inspiration for my art' line on my kind parents to justify this trip as my birthday gift, so I guess I should share a few of these inspirational photographs. I'll not bore you with a load of me 'here's me beside a statue...here's me eating a macaroon...' type photos (okay-maybe I will include the macaroon photo) so here is just a few snaps of general Parisian loveliness.

Sometimes you have to just mess things up a little to develop. I always think of presenting my work in routine patterns, it just seems to be an auto-pilot style reaction when thinking of how to present my pieces. To rebel against the short-sighted pilot in my head I decided to have some FUN. I took these photos in January  hoping they would inspire my next project. The degree show project. The big one. What better way to get started the next, very important, soon-to-be well developed project than to just friggin' mess up the previous one?
