POSITIVE THINKING

Everybody needs some positive thinking to get through stressful times, the positive thought being the treat at the end of it all. Here are some of my 'positives' and reassurances that good things come to those who don't sleep.




All to be worn with serious eye bags and whilst sleeping off the remainders of stress. Roll on deadline day (I didn't really say that...)

MUSEUM OF LONDON




One thing that keeps a museum visit interesting, as well as its bountiful exhibitions, is the overall design and layout of the space. 
The Museum of London is a place where you can literally look all over history; whether its projected up the walls or settled beneath your feet. I left feeling quite exhausted.

These images are of installations set into the floor. The second artwork was made by members of the Community Link course at Barnet College. It represents positive and negative aspects of the empire,such as exploration and slavery. Traded goods such as tea, coffee, silk and sugar were used to create the artwork. The third image is an installation of archaeological objects created by a group from WorkDirectionsUk, which supports long-term unemployed people.

This installation is a series of projected images which are constantly changing and evolving displaying the history of London. Its a fantastic visual and a great way to display images which would could usually be shown in their raw form. 
I really enjoyed my journey through the Museum of London. All the elements of it were presented in fresh and interactive ways that made your eyes feel like they had too much too look it, which for me is always a positive. Its great to leave a museum feeling like you've learned all over again instead of it being a confirmation of what you assumed already.
