Freud-Listen to A Rare Recording of Sigmund Freud by Sigmund Freud on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd?asin=B004F4GM54&source_code=ASSORAP0511160006

I love listening especially when there is no exchange expected, I can assimilate.

it is a performance long since passed. I have perspective.

Im relistening to our group crit. With Yvonne and part of my cohort at the beginning of unit 2. I felt a bit raw after it at the time. Relistening now with perspective and context, having followed the advice and researched the artists suggested, It has made me cringe, laugh and most definitely enlightened me. I feel so grateful to be able to get some insight.


(artist Suggested)


Enthusiastically I listen again to try and sort out the ideas and advice given.

It is a collage of voices, may be I can make a visual note- I shall make some mind maps to pin to my board.

This would go next to the one suggested by Eve (my tutor), condensing my reference materials in to one usable aid memoir for each of the pathways of knowledge I'm currently journeying down.

Advice....Trust your audience let them experience your art without telling them what it is or how to understand it.

Stop over thinking may be just for a week or so, just do then review, research and re do.

Enjoy the process where ever it takes you.

Amusement, I told someone to go with the flow, but I cant get myself out of the hole Ive dug .....I have just been thrown a life line.

So not in here by myself. Time to reach out and haul myself out and relax. The answers will come, or not, maybe its just about the doing In response to my questions.

Our tutor Paul said something very similar in last weeks group crit. ‘patience’ which of course I lack in huge quanities, so I shall just do and see what happens.

I found a box under the broken madonna on the book shelf and inside I found sounds from my past.

Little catch phrases and melodies played in my head, they can only be memories as I haven't had a record player for years, but they are like a diary of moments, moments of realisations, turning points which is why I’ve kept them.


Eve, as I listen to this weeks tutorial, reminds me to record turning points and cross roads in my critical writing.

- should I store the process or project in a box with a voice or sound, not unlike pandoras jar?

Storing and organising is something I enjoy doing. Its creating order from chaos, its changing things. I enjoy changing thing, doing, making and seeing what happens, I am especialły happy when it creates a pleasing or curious order.

It may be very satisfying, but organising is imperative if I ever want to find anything again, and my husband describes me as “part squirrel”.
