at South Street, Great Torrington. This room has a fireplace, and smelt strongly of woodsmoke. The fireplace is an instrument few people can play nowdays.
during the study weeks, it is hardly to find a spot in the library, since most of the students do their study there.
sometimes, i also just take a desk and do my works there. indeed, it's a lovely place (or heaven of knowledge?) for everyone in this university.

Amanda McCavour - Toronto, Canada
Installation
Pattern Study is a large-scale textile collage that explores pattern, texture and line in space by looking closely at the structures found in textile-felts, knits and woven fabrics. This work will zoom in on these fibre constructions to explore their lines and patterns and will then expand the scale of these textile structures to the scale of architecture. Moving from systems that suggest disorder (the scribble of felted fabric) to systems based on the grid (woven fabric), this installation will move from disorder to order and back again.
Hanging in space, viewers will be invited to move through the various layers in this installation that hang overhead, where lines overlap and dissolve into each other.
This work finds its visuals in the structures of fabrics we wear and uses donated fabrics from the H&M Garment Collecting Program to create this large-scale work. This project attempts to shift the proportion of textiles to a monumental scale and draws attention to the fabrics that touch us every day. These fabrics are a resource and can be re-used and re-cycled. This project is a re-imagining of these interconnected and flexible systems.
Amanda McCavour is a Toronto-based artist who explores line in the context of embroidery, drawing and large-scale installation. Her work explores thread and fiber’s duality- it’s subtle quality versus it’s accumulative presence and it’s structural possibilities versus its fragility.
Up till now Maatje isn't of much practical use, I fear. But I must admit he's been studying the special literature in the field of photography all day, burying himself in photobooks and -periodicals. Here you see him studying the manual for the Nikon SB-800 flash. // Tot nu toe is Maatje niet van veel praktisch nut geweest, maar ik moet toegeven dat hij de hele dag hard in fotografische vakliteratuur heeft gestudeerd, zich langzaam begravend onder fotoboeken en -tijdschriften. Hier zie je hem het handboek bestuderen van de Nikon SB-800 flitser.
Zelfs mijn Zoom.nl video's heeft hij al bekeken!
I had another one posted of him staring down at his prey (although maybe unpleasant, I like it!) but after having a look through my shots again, I think this one is slightly (not much in it) clearer. Cropped heavily so poor quality really. Pity he didn't land in my garden so I could have got a bit closer but still it's a bird I didn't have a picture of yesterday :-)
