Considering I have just finished my final week of University, I decided to make a blog in summation of my 4 years there:

In first year I was an eager little blond girl..


On top of my art subjects I took Psychology and hated it.

I made this sculpture out of cardboard:


In second year, I was slightly less excited about art and became a brunette


Although I stopped enjoying art, I did find a new passion in Art Criticism and Linguistics.

One of the most interesting parts to that year, was an essay I wrote about 'Ere Ibeji.' The word 'ere' meaning: image and 'ibeji' meaning: twins.the Yoruba group has an exceptionally high rate of twin births and twins are regarded as very special spiritual beings in the community. If one or both twins should die the mother must commission a sculptor to carve a twin commemorative figure (usually out of wood) known as ere ibeji. The underlying belief for this tradition is that although the twins are physically double, they are one spiritually.

From the essay:

“M ba bejire (If I had twins)
M ba jo (I would dance)
M ba bejire (If I had twins)
M ba yo (I would rejoice)
O wole alakisa (They entered a household full of poverty)
O salakisa dalaso (Transformed it into one full of wealth)” (Okedigi: p. 180)

Third year was a blur, I knew already that I didn't want a job in the art world but I decided to stick the degree out as I was over half way. I dabbled in animation and some photography but I didn't commit to creating anything worthwhile.

This year began and I changed my major to Digital Arts and changed my hair to red.


My final Animation is handed in, my thesis is completed and it's over just like that.
