The graduate show was well attended and there was an air of excitement at both evenings.
The range of work was amazing and our section, the textile and design part, had an interesting variety of techniques and disciplines.
There was so much work I couldn't take photos of all of it. Hopefully there will be a link on the RMIT site soon.
It was great to see everyone's final work, presented so beautifully. It was also a little sad to realise that we might be seeing some of the people for the last time, that we would be moving into new areas. It was reminiscent of other times in life where a change occurs and you have to let go of some things while embracing new ones.
It has been a great journey for me and I feel like I am about ready to start ... I suppose that is what a diploma course should do, get you ready to develop further. I just hope I can keep up the commitment and discipline and make myself keep producing.

I can't imagine that you won't keep up your love of the textile arts, because I think you have tapped into something that enriches your life.
Yes Parlance, I have found it very enriching. And I intend taking the advice of one of the teachers at the graduation exhibition - don't take a summer holiday, keep working. So I will try to do that, as soon as I get some energy back. Keeping in touch with some of the others will help, I am sure.
