Almost Done Now.

"Girl In A Pretty Dress." (2005) - print, mixed media.
Self-directed photo shoot with Mr S Jennar.


I am pleased to tell you that at lunchtime today, I forwarded my completed MA paper to my Head of School, Course Director and one other. I say completed, but not quite so as I only remembered this afternoon that I required a digital copy of the Ethical Review Application I had to make at the nth hour in October to be included. I think I remember sharing my increasing stress with you about that particular segment. I will only say that it was horrible. So close (24 hours) to the public launch of digital kiss and those mentioned above telling me that I hadn't as such been given the go-ahead. Even yoga didn't touch the sides. I feel it should be included as comment was passed upon it from the governing/decision makers "never seen such a complete and well answered form."


I haven't been able to clear my head from all of the words, thousands of words about what it was to sell a kiss in cyberspace. It is well documented and I hope able to offer clear and clean insights to digital kiss in order that a good understanding of what the past (nearly) 14 months have been for this work. I present the last element on 10 Feb 2010. All parts, the website, the kiss, the paper and the seminar will be marked as a whole. I hope that all support and enhance each other.


And there is one other piece of news which I am longing to share but because of academic protocol, I am afraid to say, I cannot. In conversation with a Dr at a neighbouring University, it became apparent that I possibly should not have been privvy to the droplet that has quite delightfully come my way. He suggested that I keep it to myself and lucky for all concerned, I really am the best person to keep a secret!


Finally, with reference to the image. This was the first artwork I made that was costume, character and digital image. I needed to remind myself how far I have come since this piece (nicknamed "Legs" - I wonder why?!) but more so, how much I adore how gracefully this has aged...



Fondest regards, as always


Ms Digital Kiss
