| Folding my catalogue pages |

| Stamping my catalogue pages |
So the catalogue for the final show is more than just a catalogue; every page is made by the artist and used as an artwork rather than as a purely informational reference item.
The catalogue team did a wonderful job with the organising and designing, and we all just came along with our own pages to fold, cut, stamp and bind them in. The finished book is a beautiful object, and a moment in time for all of us. It will be for sale in our show shop during the exhibition.

| Testing in my potential final show space |
And it is all go towards the final show now, everyone is excited, stressed, and in a little bit of a panic! I am most definitely all of those things right now, and yet feeling like my practice is somewhat clearer to me, I have focus, and something really interesting to continue with after the MA is over. I also feel like I still have so much research and learning to do, but that will be part of my practice as an artist, and within a framework of knowledge and a desire to make work and experiment, the research could be a tool that informs everything I continue with.
I came to the MA with a vague idea of a path to follow, it solidified into a project entitled
Reading Machines, and while that title has stayed with me, my ideas, and making practice has developed into something I wasn't quite expecting, and yet most apt.

Congratulations on your final MA show Abigail, hope all goes well - and for telling about Bob Brown - no wonder you've been so interested in him. I will check him out.
Thanks Helen, there are two weeks left until assessments, so I am going to be VERY busy, but will post again afterwards with photos of the whole show. And yes, Brown is such a character, not much has been written about him, but what has been is really interesting. Hopefully I will be getting my essay on him published soon, if I do I will let you know.
Hi Abigail,
Congratulations and good luck for the final show. Your photos make me really wish I'd made it to the one that was on while I was in London. Ah well! I'm just really happy that we managed to connect - it was really good to talk to you in person.
How much will the catalogues going to sell for? I am quite interested in getting one, unless it weighs a tonne and would cost a fortune to post.
Abigail, that's great if your essay on Bob Brown will be published, please do let me know.
Like Amanda, I would be interested in buying one of your catalogues too.
