Day 64 . 25 .06.2011

Hey


Yesterday, I spent my morning at standard bank, sending in the payment for the running of the exhibition, as well as registering for internet banking. The process was exhausting but now it is done.

Tshakgi Mannya of Aluxism, who is designing my outfit for the night of my opening, confirmed that she is in the process of making my garment. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I guess for the next two months, I won’t be able to gain weight. This is major challenge for me, as I am a food lover.

Today, I am doing my last shoot for the month. I am excited for this edgy approach that I think my team and I are heading with this one. Kim Beck, the make-up artist and Morgan Strutt the model (and amazing artist who has helped me come up with the concept) and I will be doing a nude shoot out in the cold. I can’t wait for it.

Day 60 . 21 .06.2011

Exams are over...

I am officially done with exam, which means that the free time that I have from now until Sunday will be spent mostly working. There is a collaborative photographic exhibition brief that I was sent, which is called Bodyworks. The brief is exciting as it is about the human body and I am allowed to do a nude shoot. I have been longing for such and can’t wait to meet with my model and long time friend Morgan Strutt, who attends Michaelis at UCT and is currently studying Fine Art. I can rely on her for amazing ideas and 100% involvement in every way.  I am meeting up with her on Thursday, so by Friday we should start shooting and experimenting with ideas.

I know I have a lot on my plate already with the solo project I have been focused on for the past two-three months; however, I really want to work with someone again in creating a beautiful piece. I won’t lie; it’s been a while since I did.
