some more photos from Fashioning Now

The three pattern diagrams for my garments:


We commissioned Silversalt Photographic Services to photograph the exhibition and the following photographs were part of that commission:

I love a bad photo of me and this should make the all-time top five:


My head on my no-waste shirt. A thesis cover, perhaps?

The photo is by Aram Dulyan, and I should point out his photography of the event is outstanding; much of it will be on the Fashioning Now site soon. I suspect this one was very much intentional...

Installing Fashioning Now

Some photos from installing the exhibition yesterday:

Now for the symposium...

Fashioning Now

Our website for Fashioning Now is now live, and it will be added to once the symposium has concluded and the exhibition is open. The symposium is filling up fast so be sure to book in by emailing info_fashioningnow@uts.edu.au We will be publishing the symposium program next week. The UTS DAB website has dates and a bit more on the workshops. Elsewhere on the net there is information suggesting that the two student workshops are different; they are not. Due to high demand, we simply want to offer as many students as possible the opportunity to participate in one.

The short of it: I spent January writing, started the job at the start of February, writing stopped. It's about to start again this week; over the weekend I read much of what I'd written, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared.

As well as teaching, I've been busy (an understatement) with an exciting project, more on which later. But there is a little bit about it here.

No promises about whether this blog will ever get back to speed again (I'd like it to) but here are a few lines, courtesy of Zoe, that gave me a laugh. And that probably tells us that doing a PhD is not so good for one's sense of humour.

Q: What is your ontological position in regards to your research?
A: Um, I can't afford to go to the gynecologist at the moment...
