A lots been happening lately, firstly was all the kerfuffle that comes with the pdf submissions and midterm assessment. In truth all this went smoothly, pdf went off with no hiccups and the assessment went well, with both of my tutors Val and Rathna showing an interest in my work and offering helpful advice, as well as pinching a poster each ! Since then I've been spending a lot of time in the Letterpress studio working on some more football related prints, and doing a lot of research and reading, deciding on how I'm going to take my self initiated work forward. Which could involve trying my hand at a bit of knitting !
Some more Fever Pitch quotes that have struck a chord:
“Our lunacy makes condescension inevitable.”
“A feminist colleague of mine literally refused to believe I watched Arsenal. Tell a thinking woman that you like football and you’re in for a pretty sobering glimpse of the female conception of the male.
“Football, not for the first or last time, and through no fault of its own, served both as a backbone and as a retardent.”
“Football is indeed, a funny game, and like most things which only work if one believes, the back view is preposterous, like the rear of a Hollywood film set."
“Football is an alternative universe, as serious and as stressful as work, with the same worries and hopes and disappointments and occasional elations.”
