My assessment is 4pm on wednesday, so all being well, these little touches will be done and i can just relax and think abut how i want to express my thoughts towards the Sowing Seeds piece.
Keep you posted!

About Me
- Emma Saunders Creative Works
- I would say i place more emphasis on how people react and engage with my work as opposed to a final finished piece. I like to use my work as a ‘catalyst for conversation’ setting up situations where people are faced with socialising and communicating. Whether that is a Tea Party, Gardening Club, or sewing workshop, i find appropriating social forms keeps your hands busy, relaxes your mind, keeps anxieties at bay, and naturally progresses towards conversation. The nature of my work activates the viewer, hopefully engaging them. Providing me with a participant to work alongside, and making us into a a collaborative team. The realisation of this means that i can never predict the outcome of the work, and also makes it very susceptible to change on an hourly basis due to the involvement of others. As a creator of these 'situations' it can be exhilarating, exhausting, nerve-wracking, and stressful, but the buzz and atmosphere created is a just reward for the roller-coaster of emotions each piece produces.

A mad dash to prepare...
This week has been crazy trying to sort everything out ready for the degree show, but... i think i have cracked it! All the plants are in, walls are white, and there is not a spec of soil in the wrong place!. I think it is looking quite peachy and apart from the last finishing touches like my pamphlets (which i am making tonight and tomorrow morning) and seed packets which i have just noticed a spelling mistake on (Bother!), i think its finished!
