day of two halves

yes, today was a day in two halves, needing extra time to balance out the second half. The morning was fun. I've been playing with photograms, b/w and colour. Below is the test strip of the colour.

After lunch was what I had hoped to be a very interesting talk by our very own PhD student. Instead it was an exhibition review and work made in after effects. It was billed as painting into video or something like that. He spoke about technique, process and nothing about what "he was thinking about" other than after effects takes time to master and it has a "3D workspace". Afterwards I was in the state of mind to leave, that disillusioned again.

With food purchased and videos from the library, the day ends on a reasonable note. I am of course more than capable of going to the pub, just for good measure.
