That whole counting the sleeps thing is going sooo slowly right now. The crappy thing is all the loose end tying that has to occur before I actually leave.
I'm kinda saying a bit of a goodbye to design labs when I leave... as of next term I'll be busy doing my fourth term intensive in New Media. The final Design portfolio deadline has been extended though, from 20 September (yipe!) to 19 November. Not having leeway to do Design work on New Media time next term means that I'm going to be in here in the nights, and probably lose my priviledge over my PC during the day. I'm hoping it won't change all that much but there's a loud J3 who has 'designs' (ha ha) on writing on our wall, I just KNOW it.
Some new art work has gone up around campus (being Centenary year and all), and I thought I'd take a couple of hours off from the loose ends to take some pics. Warning - crappy 19-voetsak Sony Mavica pictures ahead:
I'm getting never-ending flack about the way I say the word 'mosaic'. Anyway, this is the first piece of 'art' you encounter when entering from town, on the Drosdy Lawns.
And this is the full beauty of the piece *shrug* According to rumour, a Rhodes couple has already played hide-the-baloney on this puppy. Nice.
And here we have the second installation - two weird sandblasted glass podia with flowers...
...and San art. I'm not sure the Khoi ever populated the Eastern Cape (I'm sure they were smarter than that) but here, apparently, is Rhodes' attempt to make up for those years of colonial rule with this AWESOME little glass thing.
And lastly, we have the enormous bike thing, wittily labelled 'Life Cycle'. Again, there is apparently a photo floating around of some drunk Rhodes student actually riding the top bike. Say what you want about it, that piece of crap is sturdy.
Okay, enough.
It's Tuesday - Survivor beckons. 2 sleeps left.
