Both Duncan and I attended our local art school and so each year we try to make it to the Degree show. In years gone by we would go to the opening night and drink the free wine and mingle with art crowd. Now we are 'old' (read, have a small child), we have to go during the day.
It is quite interesting taking a 3 year old to a graduate show, they have no preconceptions about what is good or bad and are quite happy to shout out their opinion. When we were walking away from one piece, a young couple passed us, and the girl turned to the guy and said 'yes, but what is it?' Oscar turned to her very sincerely and said, 'its a spiders web'. I think you will be able to tell which piece he was talking about from the photos.

And On To The Work

Oscar has no idea who Elvis is, so when this dude passed us about 20 times, Oscar didn't bat an eyelid, which was more amusing to me than if he had recognised the costume

There was also a gold toilet on a stage, but the picture didn't turn out because it was in a dark spotlit room

This is talking about my good friend Laura, it made her laugh when I sent her this picture

Clearly not part of the show, but it sure brings back memories

And that was about as much as Oscar could manage. Some of may favorite drawing and painting pieces aren't shown here, these are really the things Oscar liked. I will try and put together a post of my favorite pieces later in the week.
Details on the art school can be found HERE, and if you are in the area, the Degree show runs all this week, and it is well worth a look.
