It was definitely an experience, and I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to exhibit there.<br />New Designers gave me so much inspiration and being back in London gave me such a buzz; I felt like the whole experience completely rebooted my system!<br /><br />In regards to my work and my ideas, I've always felt so restricted in Galway. Now after finishing college, the success of my Graduate show and the experience of New Designers, I feel like I no longer have to take shallow breaths - finally, I'm free to breathe as deeply as I wish!<br />After the last two/three weeks turn of events, I am really free of <span style="font-weight: bold;">all ties</span> and there is <span style="font-style: italic;">nothing</span> holding me back anymore.<br /><br />It's so <span style="font-style: italic;">refreshing</span>!<br /><br />The week following New Designers, I received an email off of an Art Gallery owner from York. She said some lovely things about my work, that it was "outstanding, eyecatching and beautiful" and she is interested in exhibiting and selling my work for me. How exciting!<br /><br />What a perfect start to my first summer as a BA Hons Textiles graduate.Keelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17190357062597003232noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031633009797247197.post-55884263711656119532010-06-10T04:34:00.000-07:002010-06-10T04:41:44.699-07:00GMIT Graduate Exhibiton 2010<span style="font-family: georgia;">Good Morning Starshine, the earth says hello!<br /><br />OK, so the exhibition is coming to a close, it's finishing up on Saturday. </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">It's been a great week so far, I have received some really lovely comments in my comment book and have also been mentioned in PippaBlue's blog :) </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">(http://pippablue.typepad.com/my-blog/2010/06/gmit-graduate-art-exhibition.html#comments) </span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">So chuffed!</span><br /><br />xxx Keelin xxx<br /><br />PS: I'm new to the whole blog scene so apologies for delays in putting up my first post :S<br />Will upload pictures of exhibition soon :)Keelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17190357062597003232noreply@blogger.com0
