'The past is a foreign country.'

I have been rooting around in the attic........................I can hardly believe that this little watercolour of cream cakes is nearly 30 years old!!!!  It was part of my major project at Leeds Polytechnic School of Art and Design (now Leeds Met.) back in 1983.  I made a series of prints and drawings all to do with the sensuality of food.   Leeds indoor market played a big part in my research............ sensuality...........Leeds indoor market!!???  Anyway back to the cream cakes, I think that there is something very 'drawing for textile design' about them and it reminds me of how it was that I first began to feel that textile design was what I should be doing......and 23 years later I started at CCAD !!
