I got a letter from TAFE with my results for a semester when I attended classes once, at the beginning of semester. Sculpture class. I have been issued a high distinction for not attending and not handing in work. Apparently my sculpture and journal work from previous semesters has been enough. Uh, I don't think so. End of January next year I'll go and hand in my journal and the assemblage sculpture from last year (which I'm still working on).
Somewhat unbalanced in the first pic. I think the panel of wood above makes it more balanced.
The large matchboxes are not quite right, side on they stick out too much.
Starting to work. Those matchboxes are drawers - a chamber of secrets, I guess. They contain what I think are ancient ancestral objects. Bones (bird and rat), a heart-shaped stone, feathers, moth and butterfly wings, a skeleton leaf, an old piece of broken china, dice, small pieces of wood, a mummified goldfish, a piece of rusted metal. Old and ruined stuff.
It's not finished, and it doesn't fulfill the "brief" for the sculpture I was supposed to make. I guess it doesn't matter since I've been assessed in absentia.
Wow, do you think they'll regrade you to a High Distinction when you actually do hand in your work?

That's very funny.
Excellent to catch up on your blog. Your new family member is very entertaining.
