Thursday the 10th. Work in Progress

Worked in studio from 10am -5pm on printing press. and stayed up till 4:30am finishing up my book.

Wed 9th

Today we all buckeled down to finish our books. The slavery museum really affected me. More particularly the slave trade. I based my book on the idea of how some parts of history are over looked. I've really learned to love the people of liverpool, more particularly the students that we've been studying with. Sarah, really has touched my heart. Throughout the entire day of our work day she spent the time to assist everyone of us during the screen printing process. She is so humble and modest and all she wanted to do was to serve us and make sure we were getting on alright. Stephen, jay, and sham have been asking about the church. This would be the Forth time they've asked.I've really been impressed by the many good people we have been meeting. It's a bit strange, because I am beginning to see bits and pieces of great people I know back home in the people that I meet here. It will be hard to leave them. They've all really touched my heart.

Monday 7th. Finally some Inspiration

Today was my Day Off. It was also the day that I finally was able to view the slavery museum of Liverpool. The moment I stepped into the structure I was overwhelmed by emotion, though I have been aware of this flaw in history for quite some time I still felt like I was again hearing about it for the first time. Throughout the whole museum testimonials and comments were made about the topic from young, old, black, white, Tan and olive; It's amazing to hear your story being someone else's story for your story is their story and yours theirs. And at that moment I knew exactly what my book would be based on.

Book Demo Days

8:30am Breakfast at the Hostel: 1cup of apple juice, 2 croissants, 1 yogurt, 2 pieces of Bacon, 2 pieces of hashbrowns and British cheddar cheese. Yum. Today was the day we would be starting our books. During our stay in Liverpool, our assignment was to create book art relating to Liverpool and our connection with it to some degree. With that we as well as the students of Liverpool worked together in the making of our books. It's nice to connect with others through art. And to meet people who you feel you've known your whole life.
