LUSAD

Today I went on my annual trip to LUSAD to have a look at their Final Show.  I have to say that this year I was thoroughly disappointed.   There were one or two interesting pieces of work but most of it lacked originality - or is it that I have higher expectations and a wider knowledge base now?
I did find a quote that I liked though...
'By definition memories are from the past, they refer to what is absent from the present, but yet they simultaneously bring this 'absent' into the present.' Helen C. Chapman 1997.
It relates really well to the theme that runs constantly through my own work, memory, memorials and recalling the past. Fascinating.
The Textile work was as lovely as ever but seemed a bit thin on the ground.
