YES and YES Abroad students gathered on Capitol Hill to meet with ECA Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Rick Ruth and Senators from Indiana to honor the late Senator Richard Lugar and conclude their program.
I let the kids put stuffed animals on their desks so long as they behave. We must have a million in the room. This kid was so sweet..he read a book to his study buddy during silent reading time. Showed the moose the pictures in the book and everything. It was just too cute!
There are definate advantages to teaching at the same school for an extended period of time. I've taught members of his family since I started teaching at this school...aunts, cousins, siblings...kinda cool.
Along the same lines, when I went out for a cigarette at lunch, a former student came over to tell me he was out of jail. Bright kid, seriously misguided. He told me he took the chance to go to boot camp instead of jail for part of the time and thinks he's learned his lesson. He plans to get his GED and a job. I hope he does. It would be such a waste if he didn't. I told him I didn't want to read about him in the paper unless he was CEO of a Fortune 500 company. He smiled and said "Ok, Ms. O'Shea....I'll try". Here's hoping!
In the study there is some old electronic stuff and also a PowerMac G3 sharing a switched monitor with a PC.
A young tourist studying a guide about Barcelona in the shadows of Ciutadella's Park. Barcelona (Spain). August 2010.
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.

A rare quiet moment with the granddaughters! JPEG of an A3 print I made of these two! Taken during family BBQ a week ago!
The images were taken with my 5DIII and the wonderful 135mm lens

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.
