Amy Hirst 13 - 18 July



1. What were your initial thoughts when you opened the parcel?
My instinctive reaction to the work in the first parcel was that I just wanted to touch it – it looked such an inviting texture!

2. What was the main source of inspiration from the piece that you received?
In the third parcel was a film with obsessive, repetitive movement of feet …there was a sense of confusion and frustration, as though those feet would love to escape if only they could!

3. Describe your piece?
A dark imagined world. It’s yours to explore now… take a good look around, touch it, make up your own stories….but don’t have nightmares!

4. In business terms, what have you learned or gained from the project?
It’s a good way to get to know your peers and takes some of the competitive edge out of networking.
