Bad Student

I went to London to stay at my boyfriends and go out for Halloween weekend with him, we agreed that we would spend a little time studying because he had an exam coming up and I had a test and some journals due the next week. He's actually good at studying and I was really only trying to distract myself from bugging him. I cleaned his room, listened to new music, ended up "finding" photobooth on my laptop and that's when I became a distraction. He didn't want his photo taken. But I got one.

CANADIANA

We received an assignment about Canada which reminded me a lot of one I had already done and this is the result of the first one! A blanket with imagery based on parts of Canada that I think are really important, the great lakes and the mountains. We have such a significant amount of fresh water and are so lucky for that reason. I've grown up near lake Ontario and has been awesome!

I actually began writing this when we were first assigned the project then left it to finish later and never found the motivation to come back and finish it...

King Gehry

Frank Gehry has designed a new building for Toronto's theater district!!

OCAD U will have some space in it but that will not be until I am long out of school. That's a little sad because I would have loved to take classes in class spaces designed by Frank Gehry. I have a class at the AGO but it isn't the same, just that fear of missing out. I will definitely visit it, it won't be done for about a decade so there's no way I would stay at OCADU for that much longer just to take a class in what I can only assume will be a wicked-ass building.
The way Gehry designs buildings is very interesting, using scribbles and crumpled paper. The way he comes up with ideas would be useful in coming up with ideas for 3D forms in fabric as well, I scribble and crumple paper all the time!
